A personal trainer in Farnborough, Hampshire has completed a 24-hour spin to raise nearly £1,000 for a mental health charity.
Aaron Holt, 23, is a personal trainer at The Gym Farnborough and completed the challenge on Friday, January 28. He smashed his £500 fundraising target after donations came in at a total of £928.
The money will go to Mind, a mental health charity close to Aaron's heart because his mum Gail has experienced struggles with her own mental health.
Aaron said: "To complete the challenge and raise almost double our expected target is something that I am extremely proud of.
"The spin was the hardest challenge I have ever faced but the outcome definitely outweighed the difficulty of the challenge.
"I was proud to represent Mind and raise the amount I did because I know the money will have a big impact on the people who need it most."
Gail struggled with psychosis and was taken to hospital couple of months. She has also struggled with depression and anxiety.
Mind is a charity which provides advice and support to anyone experiencing a mental health problem.
It also campaigns to improve services, raise awareness and promote a better understanding of mental health.
