Arc and sore in Paris

Charity

Chris

Optician editor Chris Bennett completed a gruelling three-day cycle from London to Paris last weekend to raise money for Vision Aid Overseas. The 300-mile marathon ride included over 4,000m of climbing and temperatures soaring into the high 80s.

Bennett arrived at the Arc de Triomphe in the French capital just as the Bastille Day celebrations began and enjoyed a short rest before the return journey, by road.

Generous donations have already been received from individual practitioners, Specsavers, Maui Jim, Luxottica, Charmant and Rodenstock. Hoya helped out with a cash donation and some super-padded shorts to ease the ride across the Parisian cobbles.
