WHERE’S Wiggo? chalk artists scribbled when the Tour de France came to Yorkshire. Nowhere to be seen was the reply, but we know where his cycling namesake has been.
Since October, York’s Phil Wiggins has been running, swimming and cycling to reach 4,000 miles in 12 months and raise £4,000 for the Alzheimer’s Society.
Amazingly he’s come up trumps with three months to spare. Now the target has been increased to £6,000 and Phil is so fit he’s running half marathons for fun.
What an incredible achievement this is for someone who was easily exhausted when he began the challenge. Who knows, Team Sky might yet have its eye on another Wiggo.
