Joe’s probable next challenge is to raise money for the campaign to help people who have had a stroke.
Joe, 32, decided he wanted to do more than just clap for carers, and he wanted to raise money for the heroes who were helping to save lives across the North East during the pandemic.
So he and his partner Gemma Shires, 26, decided on a fundraiser with an initial target of £300. Joe plumped for a static ride on a bike positioned outside his house.

His total today stood at just under £600 on his fundraising page HERE.
He thanked everyone who had supported his efforts and especially Gemma who had made sure he had food and water throughout the challenge.
