Gavin Towers may be partially sighted but he's decided to take on a record breaking challenge and raise funds for RNIB and Save The Children.

He's going to cycle around the UK and attempt to break the decades old record at the same time as raising money.

RNIB Connect Radio's Allan Russell spoke to Gavin to learn more about the challenge and why he's chosen these charities.

Keep up to date on the challenge by going to www.gavintowerscycling.com
