​A PIECE of pop memorabilia is going on sale to raise money for Cheltenham charity WellChild.

The three chopper bikes ridden by Scouting for Girls from London to Brighton are being sold on eBay.

The award winning pop band arrived in Brighton on August 30 after successfully riding 60 miles from London on second hand chopper bikes, in aid of WellChild, the national charity for sick children.

Scouting for Girls, the official ambassadors of WellChild, has already raised thousands of pounds through their efforts.

Vocalist Roy Stride said: “We ache all over, but it was worth every minute as we have raised thousands for WellChild.

“We are now going to auction the lucky choppers off for WellChild so get bidding on eBay and are now off to bed for a week to recover.”

Colin Dyer from WellChild said: “We couldn’t be more grateful to Roy, Greg and Pete for choosing to support WellChild in this incredible way.

“Like most charities we spend our time trying to persuade and cajole people into fundraising for us – and helping us to raise the profile for our work.”

Fans can donate £1.50 to WellChild by texting WELLCHILD to 70444, or go to www.justgiving.com/scoutingforgirls
