00:00Okay then Chris, so we're at Burton Borough School in Newport, just explain what you've done, what you've completed.

00:05So I've cycled 100 miles over three days, so 33.33 miles each day.

00:10Wow, goodness me. And just explain what it was all about and what it's all for.

00:14So it's for Stoke Ward 228, which is neurology and parts of the brain and stuff like that, where my mum's had operations and your mum.

00:23Yeah, because you're brother and sister aren't you?

00:25Yeah.

00:26That's it, that's it.

00:27Yeah, I spent a long time there.

00:29Yeah, yeah. So just explain what happened with your mum, what, you know, regarding the brain operations and that.

00:35So there's been lots of surgeries such as shunts implemented in the head and there's such a large amount of different surgeries that have been done there.

00:46She's there now at the moment isn't she?

00:47Yeah.

00:48Right.

00:48Yeah.

00:49And you just felt you wanted to give something back, aren't you?

00:51Yeah, I wanted to give something back.

00:52Absolutely.

00:52And there's also people who are close to us around us that have been there as well, like a member of staff from here.

00:58Oh yeah.

00:59And people who are close, so.

01:02Absolutely.

01:02Just a way to give back.

01:04And Ellie, you're the family liaison officer.

01:06Yeah.

01:06Just explain how you feel about all this and what you think Chris has done.

01:09It's absolutely amazing. It's been a real privilege to be able to put updates on the family bulletin and let, you know, everybody out there know what Chris has been doing.

01:18He was a first class student when he was here. I had the privilege of being his examined vigilator and he was a model student.

01:25And yeah, we're just so proud of him here at the school. Absolutely wonderful.

01:29And how did it go? How was the journey?

01:32It was good. It was quite a nice route actually, so.

01:34Right. And what was the route again? Just explain what it was.

01:36So it was from where I live to Newport and then Newport to Stafford.

01:41Right.

01:41Which was about 12 miles and then back. So 12 miles there, 12 miles back and then.

01:45And that was over three days.

01:46Yeah.

01:47Fantastic. It was a fantastic achievement.

01:49Yeah.
