Meet the heroic Swansea teenagers set for the ride of their lives in aid of mental health awareness

After both struggling with their mental health over the last few years and wanting to put some positivity back in the world, two fearless teenagers have planned an epic 376-mile fundraising challenge all in aid of helping others.

On the day the Paris Olympic games kick off their action, Swansea eyes will be firmly on inspirational Llansamlet-born best friends Elwyn Lee and Finley Greenall. 

Both just aged 17, the selfless teenagers have come up with a mammoth cycling trek of Olympic proportions where in tandem they plan to ride from the south to the north of Wales and back in just over a week.  

The dedicated duo’s remarkable journey will see the pair cycle the round trip from Swansea to Holyhead where they will face not just the elements, but the wild mountainous terrain of Snowdonia.  

All of this before climbing Wales’ fifth highest mountain range in Glyder Fawr on their trusty bikes with all their gear. 

In what will be an emotional test of endurance and character, the pair believe their strong friendship, determination and dedication to raise money and awareness for mental health charity Mind will get them through the tough moments.
