Intrepid Owain Harris has completed his first big fundraising challenge - to cycle the length of Britain in aid of the Down's Syndrome Association.
Owain, aged 28 from Cardiff, began the gruelling 917.7 mile route on 22nd April, when he cycled from John O'Groats to Lands End to help raise important funds for the Down's Syndrome Association - a charity Owain and his family support deeply and avidly admire.
He set his sights high and completed the challenge in nine days hoping to raise £1,000.
Owain learnt more about the work of the Down's Syndrome Association when the charity entered his life at such a crucial moment.
