AN energetic Spa man, who is on a gruelling sponsored bike ride, will be stopping off in Droitwich this week.

Stewart Willis, of Burrish Street, is cycling from John O'Groats to Lands End with two friends to raise money for the Anthony Nolan Bone Marrow Trust.

The 39-year-old, who began the challenge last Saturday, will be calling into the Droitwich Spa Sports and Leisure Centre, in Briar Hill, this Saturday.

The three men, Stewart and his two friends John Chatfield and Rob Harrison, have been training at the centre's gym since January to prepare themselves for the gruelling challenge.

The trio hope to raise £10,000 for the charity and they plan to finish the ride next Wednesday.

Before he set off Stewart said: "People are welcome to come along and say hello on Saturday, we will be there between about 3pm and 4pm if we stay on schedule."
