A WORCESTER man is cycling to work in Cheltenham and back every day this week to raise money for Acorns Children’s Hospice.

Alex Kechiche, aged 35, started the effort on Monday, and finishes tomorrow.

He hopes to raise £1,000 for Acorns to thank them for their support in caring for his daughter, who suffers from epilepsy, and has already managed to raise £490.

Mr Kechiche, a shift manager at Sapa Profiles UK in Tewkesbury Road, Cheltenham, has been leaving his home at 4am to reach work in time to start his morning shift at 7am.

To sponsor Mr Kechiche, visit justgiving.com/iskander-kechiche or text MIAK90 along with the donation amount to 70070.
