His Worship the Mayor, Mr Christian Santos GMD, hosted a reception at City Hall to celebrate the success of the Clock2Rock Challenge. 

A statement from the Office of the Mayor follows below:

The challenge was completed by Mark Cooper and Ben McNulty in October. They rode their  bicycles from Westminster UK to Gibraltar in seven days and twelve hours, averaging a  distance of 300kms every day through all weathers. 

His Worship congratulated Mr Cooper and Mr McNulty on their achievement, which  resulted in them raising over £27,000 which they have donated to Cancer Relief Gibraltar  and Calpe House GA. 

Present at the reception were their support team Neil Crawford and Mike Milward,  sponsors, friends and family, as well as representatives of both charities. 

His Worship is always keen to highlight and celebrate achievements by people in our  community, especially, as in this case, when their actions are solely for the benefit of others.  He thanked all the challenge’s supporters at City Hall and spoke of the generosity of the  people of Gibraltar, saying he was humbled by the overwhelming support of the general  public both with their donations and their well wishes.
