FOUR boys from All Saints School in Netheravon cycled from the village to Salisbury Cathedral, via Bulford, Larkhill, Amesbury and the Woodfords.
Matthew and James Bradley and their friends Vaughn Covil and Max Harper decided to tackle the bike ride to raise money for a school in Helmand, Afghanistan after the school had a visit from Dr Mohammad Kharoti from Helmand.
Dr Kharoti is building a school in his village for more than 1,000 children, working with the Afghan Appeal Fund, which was established by the families and friends of British Soldiers and is now building its eleventh school in Helmand.
With the support of their teacher Ross Nashwalder, who cycled the second half with them, the boys made it to Salisbury Cathedral in three hours, raising more than £600. “We really enjoyed the cycle with our friends and are so pleased that we have raised such a lot of money for the children in Afghanistan,” said Matthew.
