A charity challenge has raised more than £17,000 to support young people living with cancer.

Three Domino’s colleagues, including Twickenham-based operations development manager Jason Hunt, cycled nearly 1,000 miles from John O’Groats to Land’s End in support of Teenage Cancer Trust.

The eight-day challenge saw the team, known as the Pizza Peddlers, ride more than 200km on some days and climb a total of 46,000 feet.

"The money the team has raised will be truly life-changing for so many young people with cancer."

Domino’s has partnered with the charity for 10 years and has raised more than £8.5 million since 2015.

Peter Blockley, one of the riders and senior franchise operations partner at Domino’s, said: "Taking part in this challenge has been an unforgettable experience.

"Knowing that our efforts will make a real difference to young people with cancer is the best reward we could ask for."
