Bike ride raises over £6000 for St Mary's Church
Mon 20th April 2015
Leanne Marshall has cycled to the rescue of St Mary’s Church, raising over £6000 for essential repairs.
Leanne, who works as the director of Hunters in Beverley, completed the charity bike ride on 18 April, in which she led a group of friendly cyclists up the Beverley to York national cycle route, touring through Stamford Bridge, Pocklington and Market Weighton before being greeted with a warm welcome back at the church.
Managing to raise a total of £6091.50 on the day, Leanne hopes that figure keeps rising with her bike ride raising awareness of the repairs needed by St Mary’s.
The 900 year old church is a popular attraction in Beverley’s Georgian Quarter. The church hosted a welcome party for Leanne, seeing families enjoy the sunshine with a garden party, where she presented a cheque to Reverend Becky Lumley.
A unique text number was set up for the event, and further donations of £10 can be made by texting HUNT33£10 to 70070.
