Rickshaw Challenge 2019

Like many Bedfordians I was in Harpur Square tonight to welcome Matt Baker and The One Show's Rickshaw Challenge in aid of BBC Children in Need 2019.

Matt was accompanied by a team of six young people who are riding the rickshaw. Bedford was their latest stop on their eight day challenge to cycle 400 miles from Holyhead to London. Tomorrow the team will head to the BBC studios in Elstree in time for tonight's The One Show.

If you would like to donate to the Rickshaw Challenge for BBC Children in Need 2019 you can do so here. Every pound you donate will also see the Hunter Foundation donate 40p.

You can find out more about the Rickshaw Challenge, including more about the riders - Adelle, Emma, Josh, Kelsey, Thomas and Uche and the route map here.

I, on behalf, of Bedford Borough would like to wish them well on the last leg of their journey and thank them for their amazing efforts supporting Children in Need 2019.
