Fundraising was a wheel challenge for these two marathon roller skaters
Fundraising was a wheel challenge for these two marathon roller skaters.
This photograph, taken from the Chronicle archives, shows friends Paul Johnson, 24, from Wallsend, and David Coe, 21, from North Shields, as they set off on a charity skate to London on July 17 1981. The pair, who had never skated before they decided to take up the 350-mile challenge, were raising money for the Charlie Bear appeal to buy a body scanning unit.
In preparation for the trip, the lads skated up to 20 miles a day and hoped to skate between 40 and 45 miles a day during the challenge, with the aim of reaching London by July 28.
The Lord Mayor of Newcastle, Coun Bennie Abrahams, was on hand to send the lads off on their way.
