Zoe pedals in on her way to Brighton

emy players, and students from the Vikings Learning Centre.

Zoe was also cheered on by the Vikings’ charity partners at MIND Halton and Community Integrated Care, who took part in the celebration.

Following the ride, she took time to meet participants in the Offload programme, a pioneering project delivered by the Vikings in partnership with RL Cares that helps build men’s mental fitness using the power of rugby league.

She learned about the impact that the free programme has had on participants in improving their sense of wellbeing, self-esteem and positivity.

She also spent time with people supported by Community Integrated Care and their support workers, thanking them for being there at the end of a special day.

Zoe set off from the Halton Stadium on the morning of Tuesday, March 6, on route to Upton Magna.

She was cheered on by Vikings stars who formed a guard of honour as she left.

Vikings head coach Denis Betts said: “Zoe has taken on a really impressive challenge for a fantastic cause, so we were honoured to have the opportunity to welcome her to the Halton Stadium.

“We were delighted to give her our support and lots of encouragement as she reached the end of a long and tiring day.

“We hope that Vikings supporters get behind her campaign, by donating generously to the cause.”

Vikings star Hep Cahill added: “It was awesome to jump on and finish the home-straight with Zoe. We were stoked to help her get this first day done. It is amazing what Zoe is doing.

“Widnes Vikings deliver Offload, a men’s mental health programme, so it is fitting that we have worked together on this challenge.

“I hope Zoe raises lots of money and thank everyone for supporting her.” ● To donate visit www.sportrelief. com/zoe
