Paddy McGuinness is currently undertaking a challenging 300-mile charity cycle ride from Wrexham to Glasgow to raise funds for BBC's Children in Need. He was greeted warmly at Gretna Green by fans and was moved to tears when Sir Tom Hunter announced a pledge to match donations up to £2 million. As he passed through various towns, including Penrith and Carlisle, enthusiastic crowds showed their support, with health staff from local hospitals joining in the cheer. McGuinness has already raised over £3.3 million and received encouragement from celebrity friends, including Peter Kay and Chris Harris. His journey has been marked by touching moments, such as being welcomed by children singing at Pier Head. Paddy expressed gratitude for the community support, noting how it motivates him to continue despite the physical strain of the ride.
