A group of football fans have shown their charitable sides by riding more than 200 miles across East Anglia to raise £5,200.

Chelsea fans from Bungay, Wymondham, Norwich and Thetford took part in the three-day challenge Ride for Life, organised by East Anglia's Children's Hospices (EACH), in July.

All are members of Eastern Blues, the official Chelsea supporters club for Norfolk and Suffolk. EACH generated over £30,000 from Ride for Life, which will go towards the nook appeal.

Among those who made friends with the group along the way was Andrew Goodson, from Messing, whose son William, two, receives care from EACH's hospice in Ipswich.

Mr Goodson and family recently joined Eastern Blues at The Treehouse for a cheque presentation where the Chelsea fans brought along personalised home and away kits for William.
