A 16-year-old Norwich City fan who completed a 120-mile (193km) cycling challenge to the club's opening away match of the season at Millwall, said it was a "life-changing experience".
Ranulph Bacon, from Norwich, set off for The Den in south-east London after being challenged to the feat by striker Mo Touré.
He had tagged the striker in an Instagram post, promising to make the journey in aid of Bungay Community Support if he replied. Touré responded within minutes, turning the bike ride into reality.
Ranulph, who completed the ride over three days, has raised nearly £3,000 for the Suffolk-based charity. "It was very intense at times, but I knew I was doing something positive," he said.
