Benjamin Vis, a Watford-based Finance Broker, cycled 350 kilometres around Mallorca on May 18 and 19 for local charity One YMCA.
Benjamin Vis tackled the challenge over two days earlier this month in aid of the charity, which helps tackle homelessness, mental health issues and aiding young families.
Vis' decision to embark on the journey was prompted by his admiration for One YMCA's work and a desire to make a difference.Despite not being a regular cyclist, he encountered a challenging route with over 4,000 metres in elevation, including unexpected road closures and gruelling uphill climbs. With his dedicated team's support, Vis persevered, reaching the summit of Mallorca's tallest peak and continuing his journey into the night.
Enduring day two's trials, the thought of making a difference powered him past exhaustion to the finish line in Palma. His fundraising efforts have already generated £1,300 for One YMCA, as he looks to raise further awareness about the organisation through a documentary and social media.We want our comments to be a lively and valuable part of our community - a place where readers can debate and engage with the most important local issues.
