Eammon Postelthwaite is a tour-de-force when it comes to cycling. The ten-year-old rode 320 miles from his home in Mossley to the mountainous Clare island at the entrance to Clew Bay in County Mayo, Ireland.
He races for ESV Manchester at the city's Velodrome, but when the going got tough the memory of a friend spurred him on. His awesome effort raised more than £1,400 towards setting up a centre for teenagers, which will be a legacy to his pal.
George's Den is being created as a tribute to George Butterworth-Sice, who died from cancer last year, just a week before his 14th birthday. Eammon was a neighbour of George. He died just one month after being diagnosed.
