Fundraisers taking on arduous athletic feats for charity is nothing new.
But a Surbiton man has taken the idea to another level as he plans in two weeks’ time to ride a push-along scooter 122 miles without any training. Brett Alderton, 38, hopes to raise £1,248 for Creative Youth, the charity that organises the International Youth Arts Festival, by scooting from Surbiton to Swanage. The trip takes about three hours in a car. Mr Alderton is hoping he can complete it in as many days. Laid-back Mr Alderton has not even purchased his scooter yet.
This is not the first time Mr Alderton has taken on an unusual challenge. In 2014 he raised £2,000 by playing swingball for 24 hours at the Lamb pub. Mr Alderton plans to set off on his latest adventure on August 18.
