A fundraising animal lover is on track to raise over £300 for the RSPCA, by completing circuits of the Sutton Arena in Carshalton.

Matthew Davis, 43, from Albion Road in Sutton, is tackling the 72 lap challenge on a tricycle.

He said: "I have raised £250 so far, mainly through friends, family, carers, and support workers.

"I have always had pets, and I love animals, so I just wanted to do this for them."

Mr Davis, who suffers from epilepsy, did the first 10 laps on Monday, September 29, and ticked off another 15 on Wednesday, October 1.

He will do another 15 circuits tomorrow, and is aiming to finish the remaining 35 laps over the next couple of weeks.

The Sutton Arena is based at the David Weir Leisure Centre in Middleton Road, Carshalton.
