Girls saddle up for charity
Best friends Ele Parrott and Emma Beasley are ready to saddle up for a 1,000 miles of pain and cycle from John O’ Groats to Land’s End for charity.
Student Ele, 27, from Hollingdon, and Emma, 28 from Linslade, have undergone 90-mile training rides in preparation for Saturday’s 10-day marathon.
They are raising money for Action This Day, a charity that runs a community school in Kenya.

Hide AdEle said: “Neither of us are pro cyclists. However, we are both super keen to raise as much money for these amazing children as possible.”
The school was set up after pupils at an existing school were found to have been suffering physical and sexual abuse. Ele’s sister, Gina, has since volunteered at the school, which cares for 130 children, and will be part of the girl’s support team for the ride.
