Kate's Perfect Welsh Wish for Cyclist's Charity Ride
13 Nov
Summary
- Princess Kate delivered a supportive message in Welsh to a cyclist.
- The cyclist completed a five-day, four-nation challenge for Children In Need.
- The charity ride had raised £2.9 million by Friday morning.
Princess Catherine offered a touching message of support in Welsh to broadcaster Owain Wyn Evans as he completed his five-day cycling challenge. Evans undertook the arduous journey across Scotland, Northern Ireland, England, and Wales to raise funds for Children In Need.
By Friday morning, the challenge had successfully generated £2.9 million for the charity. Evans expressed immense gratitude upon hearing the Princess's encouragement, describing her Welsh pronunciation as 'perfect.' This support added significant motivation to the final leg of his ambitious fundraising effort.
Throughout his journey, Evans received various messages of good luck. These included a motivational note from Queen drummer Roger Taylor and a prior send-off from country music star Shania Twain, whose name inspired the cyclist's bike, 'Shania Chain.'
The fundraising initiative culminated on the day of the BBC Children In Need broadcast, a special live program hosted by Sara Cox and others, featuring performances and stories highlighting the charity's impact across the UK.
