The journey, which started at FC Barcelona’s Nou Camp, exceeded 2,000km in length, encompassed 16 days of consecutive days of riding, and has raised over £40,000 towards a new ambulance for St. Ann’s Hospice.
The ride was conceived by well-known Red, fanzine editor and journalist Andy Mitten, in honour of his late father, Charlie Mitten – nephew of the great 1948 FA Cup-winning United hero of the same name – who passed away from cancer on 6 November 2018.
“Dad died in Salford in a hospice, where the care he received was fantastic,”
Andy told us, after completing the final few metres to Old Trafford around 5pm.
