Riding high in the Alps for charity
Geoff Noake, of Eckington-based AdPlace Marketing, will reach new heights in June when he takes on nearly 500km of iconic mountain climbs featured in the Tour over six days.
The challenge marks his 60th birthday and he hopes to raise about £500 for children’s skin complaint charity Caring Matters Now.
