Tesco staff take to their bike for charity

STAFF at the Tesco Express store on the Banbury Road in Stratford-upon-Avon have today taken to an exercise bike as part of a festive push to raise money for two charities.

The Rudolf Race got underway earlier this morning with Emily Brunsdon, left, taking to the saddle in her festive onesie here supported by colleagues Sim Sharma, right, and Helen Moseley, deputy manager, who are also doing their bit during the day for which customers are being invited to make a donation in return for a mince pie or sweet.

Money raised by the race, which ends at 11pm tonight, will go to the Tesco National Charity Partnership fund which is supporting Diabetics UK and the British Heart Foundation.
