It was about £12,000 at 8:00 this morning. Brilliant!
That really is brilliant, obviously made a connection for a lot of people. Good on him. £45k!!!
£47K now well done.
amazing, well done that [s]man[/s] boy!
Is this 'Charlie bit me' Charlie?
Just had another look - £59,000 now
That park's just down the road in That London's Famous London!
Might go along and join him, offer mechanical assistance in case of any problems! 🙂
Brilliant!
not being a wet blanket or a cynic, but isn't this a little bit of child exploitation? I just doubt that 7yr old Charlie came up with this idea is all... but it's a good cause and that's a shed load of money 🙂
Well his Dad is a roadie-have you seen his bike?
Anyway as a family well done -it's more than most have raised.
About time for a positive news story instead of always negative.
£152K

I expect he alwasy has to raise the most for the school sponsored walk as well!
I think it's a bit on the ridiculous side, all that cash for riding 5 miles round a park!
People struggle to raise a fraction of that for undertaking much harder tasks. It's amazing what tv coverage will get you!
None the less, good effort from the public, wonder if the same amount would be raised if he was doing it for abused children in this country or if he'd even get the coverage, somehow I doubt it very much
Great effort. It doesn't matter if someone has run 200 miles or biked around a park, it's all about scale. He's seven years old and cycling 5 miles. I think it's brilliant and for a great cause.
I wonder if Justgiving will take their cut?
