A Chartered Financial Planner who has lost his brother and one of his longest standing clients to cancer has raised £10,000 by cycling from Venice to Rome.

Mike Humble, who works for LEBC, covered 381 miles in four days over the Apennines, in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support.

The LEBC Group supported his fundraising under the Inspire programme, to the tune of £2,500. Since starting charity bike riding in 1997 Mike has raised around £65,000 in total.

Mr Humble said: “Over the years I have lost many family members, friends and clients to cancer and Macmillan have always been there to support them and their families.

“This includes my youngest brother and one of my longest standing clients. She had been a client for 25 years when she died in 2009.”

Jack McVitie, Chief Executive of LEBC, said: “We are delighted Mike has met this challenge and done so much for Macmillan Cancer Support. Through our charity initiative Inspire we are happy to have been able to support Mike in his efforts.”
