A CITY high-flier swapped his suit for cycling shorts to raise money for a Dartford-based charity.

Chris Tait, 43, of Keswick Road, Orpington, left on Sunday to complete a 385km sponsored cycle over harsh terrain in Jordan for the Ellenor Foundation.

As a trustee of the charity, the father-of-three hopes to raise £10,000 for the foundation which offers respite care for the terminally ill and their families.

All money raised will go to the charity. Anyone wishing to sponsor him can send a donation to The Ellenor Foundation, East Hill, Dartford, DA1 1SA.
