A 37-year-old was inspired by his father and maternal grandmother to cycle 206 miles in five days.

Mark Farrell, of Bolton Woods, Shipley, took on the challenging Pennine Ring to raise money for the Parkinson's Disease Society.

His wife, Tina, who also had an uncle with the disease, said Mark had organised the ride after seeing the affects of Parkinson's on his family.

"I'm really proud of him, he's done really well," she said.

Mark, who works for Firemaster International in Leeds, set off from Bingley's Five Rise Locks at the start of the challenge alongside cycling partner Gary Smith, 47, of Crossflatts, who was raising money for Bradford Cancer Support's Daisy Appeal.
