A CYCLIST who is riding the length and breadth of the country stopped by two Morrisons stores in Herefordshire this week as part of his epic journey.
James Badger, who works for Morrisons' head office as part of the company's commercial team, is raising money for Blood Cancer UK in memory of his wife Philippa, who died of Acute Myeloid Leukaemia last year, leaving behind her three young children.
To mark the first anniversary since her death, Mr Badger, along with three of his friends, is cycling from Lands End to John O'Groats. And to say thank you to his colleagues, he stopped by the Morrisons stores in Ross-on-Wye and Leominster.

"They left on their journey on Sunday and arrived in Ross-on-Wye and Leominster on Tuesday," said Alice James, Community Champion at Morrisons Leominster.
"They have now headed north and will finish their 1600km journey on Saturday in John O'Groats. It was an amazing event to be part of."
Anyone who wants to donate to the cause can do so via Mr Badger's Just Giving page.
