Riding from Leeds Castle to Leeds

The finish of Graham Liver's ride

BBC Children In Need 2009 and it's the big one. From Leeds Castle, in Kent, to Leeds by BBC Radio Leeds' Graham Liver - on a bike. The journey started on Saturday 14 November and he's finished!

Graham is back in Leeds having arrived just after 09:00 at the BBC studios on Friday 20 November. He was met by a group of well wishers, a trumpet fanfare and the news that the ride had already raised over £16,000 for Children in Need, the money continues to flow in.

Graham says: "My bottom and I are back. Across seven days making my way back from Kent through several counties, back home to West Yorkshire. "

Graham stepped straight into the Leeds studio and started his mid-morning show, with a room full of well wishers that had followed him from the finish line.

Money makes a difference

"I hope that this year we can raise a significant amount and really help out local projects and charities.

"I'll be doing all the hard work and all I ask of you is that you donate what you can. Throughout the week on BBC Radio Leeds you will hear from several local projects and find out exactly how your money makes a difference.

"Please donate all you can, every penny really does count!"

As Graham made his way up the country he broadcast his BBC Radio Leeds show from local BBC studios.
