A TEAM of six young people, all of whom have been supported by BBC Children in Need-funded projects, passed through Marlborough High Street on Monday afternoon as they took part in the charity's Rickshaw Challenge.

Crowds gathered to cheer on the team as they passed through the town as part of Monday's 56 mile route from Hook in Hampshire, crossing the North Wessex Downs and passing through Marlborough, before ending the fourth day of the Rickshaw Challenge in Royal Wootton Bassett.

The annual challenge which is now in it's eight year sees the team joined by BBC The One Show's Matt Baker cycling a 423 mile route from Calais, France to Salford over eight days to raise miney for Children in Need.

Matt Baker said: “This is the eighth year that we’ll be heading out on the roads with the Rickshaw Challenge and I can’t wait to get back in the saddle alongside six truly inspirational young people.

“Every year the support that we get never ceases to amaze me, it’s fantastic to see how people from all across the UK get behind the Challenge and I’m looking forward to seeing all those friendly faces willing us on again this year.”

The team’s progress will be broadcast live on The One Show throughout the week, as co-presenter Alex Jones follows the team on their 423 mile journey.
