Practitioners raise funds after cycle to Holland

Two eye care professionals have managed to raise around £1,000 for charity by completing a 260 mile cycle into mainland Europe.

Optometrist Rakesh Kapoor (pictured left) and dispensing optician Ananda Sena (right) raised funds for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, after travelling from London to Amsterdam and back again this summer.

Sena was described as a keen cyclist but Kapoor only started out this year, with a cycle from London to Cambridge and cycling to work in North London.

‘It was difficult cycle over three days but support from friends and patients helped raise the money and gave us comfort. We both work at Specsavers Wembley and have worked together for 10 years now,’ he said.
