Perdy’s Pedal Power

A 10-year-old Shrewsbury girl who took on a 10-mile challenge has raised £345 to benefit our community.

Perdy Haynes, from Belle Vue, joined a cycle-ride organised by the team at The Haughmond in Upton Magna. Taking part was an impromptu decision while looking for something to do on Father’s Day, but Perdy is delighted that she managed to raise funds for us.

“My Dad was looking at things to do on Father’s Day and saw this cycling event. He asked if I wanted to do it with him and I did. It was a bit tricky because I haven’t done many long rides.

“I wanted to raise money for Lingen Davies because I know people who have had cancer,” she said.

Karen Roberts, Community and Volunteer Fundraiser, said a very big thanks to Perdy for her efforts and presented her with a certificate for her achievement.

“We’re very grateful to Perdy and her friends and family for this support – she really did go the extra mile for charity, it’s a wonderful thing to see young people taking on fundraising for those less fortunate than themselves.”

Thank you Perdy!
