One Teesside school is going above and beyond to help pupils catch up after the months missed during the pandemic.
FOR many people, exercise in 2020 meant an occasional walk or an even more occasional Zoom workout. But a bike-mad dad from the North-East completed one of cycling’s biggest endurance challenges last year and has set his sights on an even bigger challenge in 2021. By cycling 100-miles over 100 times last year, Dean Madden (49), of Tyneside, raised over £4,000 for the Great North Air Ambulance and the Newcastle Building Society Community Fund – smashing his original target of £500. Dean, who works in financial services at the building society, started his quest in memory of a friend who, sadly, died in 2020. Jack Earl, a cycling fanatic and photographer, from Bedlington, was well known on the regional riding scene, and Dean vowed to raise money for one of Jack’s favourite charities.
