ON May 28 Graham Barber, owner of Dermagraphica Tattoo Studio in Leominster will be starting out on solo sponsored cycle ride from Edinburgh back to Hereford to raise money for Crossroads Care Forest of Dean and Herefordshire.

He will be riding a recumbent trike, carrying everything he needs with him including camping gear and should be covering around 70 miles per day.

Crossroads Care provided considerable support to him and his family last year both before and after his father's death from dementia and he would like to raise funds so that the local charity can help others in need in the community.

Graham said "Clients have been very generous in their donations both in the shop and through the Just Giving page" which can be found at justgiving.com/fundraising/trike
