STAFF at Tesco Redditch, in Oakenshaw, proved they were willing to go that extra mile to help a worthy cause.

When they were approached by Patrick Carroll, who said he wanted to do a sponsored 100-mile cycle ride in aid of Help for Heroes, store manager Keith Davis immediately stepped in and donated a bike for Mr Carroll to use during his challenge.

He set off on the ride from the store on Saturday and finished it the following day.

A Tesco spokesman said: "This is a very worthy cause and Tesco was proud to be involved."
