Police officer cycling across the country to raise money for Move
A Shrewsbury-born police officer passed through the town on his long journey from Lands End to John O'Groats.
John Haywood has come through two forms of cancer - lymphona and sarcoma - and is raising money for Move, a charity which encourages those living with it or beyond it to take regular exercise.
The 48-year-old chief inspector with Greater Manchester Police used to mountain bike around the hills of Shropshire as a boy but only took up road cycling as part of his recovery from cancer, in 2020.
John started his 950-mile trek on Saturday and stayed overnight when he reached Shrewsbury, visiting the Crown Pub, Abbey Foregate where regulars have raised over £200 for the appeal.
The total raised is already over £2,500 and John has set up a Just Giving page for those who want to donate.
