A JustGiving Page has been set up, where more than £130 has already been raised.
Speaking on the challenge Lindsey said: “Rob has known me for six years and that's when I started working for MHA.
“He has always wanted to do a challenge to support a cause and when I mentioned Swallow Wood and that's how the idea came about.

“The tiny tablet will be a great addition to the home and will enable the activity coordinators to access more activities for residents to take part in.
“On some occasions I will be supporting Rob on his journey, more so when we are cycling outdoors
“We are all confident that Rob will complete the challenge and hit the target for the home.
