A Nottingham Forest fan is taking on the challenge of cycling to every one of the club’s Premier League away games this season to raise money for two local charities.
Martin Hibbert completed his 13th of 19 rides this season on Friday as he made the journey on bike to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the snow. Forest take on Spurs in Saturday’s 3pm kick off.
The fan is aiming to raise a total of £15,000 for Maggie's Nottingham and Macmillan Cancer support, two charities who support people diagnosed with cancer as well as their families. He has so far raised just over £1,500.

It’s the second time that the 66-year-old has taken up the challenge, after cycling to every Reds away game during the 2018/19 season. On that occasion he raised a total of £23,544.
After joking that he will do the challenge again if Forest ever got promoted to the Premier League, he stuck to his word following the play-off final victory over Huddersfield Town back in May.
Following the journey to London, Mr Hibbert has a bit of a break until the next away game, which will see Forest travel to take on Leeds United at Elland Road on Tuesday, April 4, after the international break. In between the Reds have two home games at the City Ground either side of the break.
People wishing to donate to the challenge can do so via the Just Giving page . You can also follow Martin’s journey via his Facebook page and Twitter account where he posts regular updates of the challenge.
