A teacher raised more than £2,600 for charity by cycling 65 miles at the weekend.

Howard Ebden, Director of Music at Chigwell School in High Road, Chigwell, took to the road on Sunday (May 17) and cycled from London to Brighton to raise much-needed fund for charity.

All proceeds were donated to Lifebox, who distribute environment-appropriate equipment and education to hospitals around the world.

The teacher's latest venture follows the fundraising efforts of the school's Chapel Choir which has already raised £45,000 for charity this year.
