A little boy from Penge has made history by becoming the youngest person to ever cycle the length of Britain.
Joshua Moisey completed the Land’s End to John o’ Groats cycle along with his older brother Reuben, 10, and dad Alvin.
The musical family covered almost 1,000 miles and hosted piano recitals along the journey to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Society.
Dad Alvin told News Shopper: "We decided to take on this challenge for Alzheimer’s Society in memory of the boys’ grandmother Yvonne, who lived with dementia during the last ten years of her life.
"We all witnessed my mother’s gradual and heart breaking decline, and are only too familiar with the many difficulties faced by both sufferers and their families.
"We hope that by raising funds for the charity, vital services and key advice can be provided to support people with dementia, their families and carers."
Jeremy Hughes, chief executive at Alzheimer’s Society, added: "We are extremely grateful for the support of everyone who, like the Moisey family, takes on a personal challenge in support of Alzheimer’s Society."
The family completed the cycle on August 3 after setting off on July 3 and they have now raised over £2,800 for their efforts.
