A local biker with the help of some friends is hoping to raise €10,000 for the Mercy Hospital Foundation’s Kids + Teens Appeal, by travelling 10,000km along the Silver Lining Tour to the North Cape.
From August 3 to 17, Mike Fenton from Glanworth, along with 18 other motorcyclists, undertook a trip from Glanworth and headed to Oslo taking in Sweden and Finland on the way.
