The Salvation Army United Kingdom and the Ireland Territory extended their pleasure to introduce their 90-year-old Sally Army Volunteer Peter, the oldest person in Britain from Land’s End, to John O’Groats to fundraise over £58,000 for charity.
Reportedly, the Salvation Army United Kingdom and the Ireland Territory is a Non-Profit Organisation which aims to provide services and support to uncertain families, trafficked victims and children.
Previously, the Salvation Army has come forward to introduce their 90-year-old Volunteer, Peter, who travelled the 1000-mile journey this August to raise funds.
While extending their pleasure and gratitude to Peter, the Salvation Army said, “A massive Sally Army shout-out to 90-year-old Peter, the oldest person to cycle the length of Britain from Land’s End to John O’Groats to fundraise for our homelessness services! Starting the 1,000-mile journey in August, it took Peter just under a month to complete his epic journey.”
Further, while sharing his experience, the Salvation Army Volunteer Peter shared, “I have cycled end to end at 75, at 80, and at 85,” he says, “and…raised over £58,000 for charity. I planned to attempt to do it again just after my 90th birthday in August. I (cycled) for two homeless charities, The Salvation Army and Access Community Trust.”
From Beccles in Suffolk, Peter explains why he is so passionate about supporting The Salvation Army’s work to tackle homelessness.
“I am aware of my good fortune in having a home to live in.
It makes me very aware of people who are homeless, and I pray for them almost every day…The Salvation Army has a long record of helping people who are homeless, and I have always had admiration for them.” he added.
In conclusion, the Salvation Army again extended their pleasure and shared that Peter has raised over £35,000. Read more about his incredible, record-breaking journey:
