Two friends riding on children scooters for ‘157 miles’ for baby loss

TikTokers Joel Redhead from Hull, and Shane Cole from Coventry, set off from West Kirby beach in Wirral on Saturday and are due to finish in Hull today, after a "very tough" journey.

The men, who both have thousands of followers online, are doing it for Chasing Rainbows, which helped Joel's family when his nephew Jude died shortly after he was born.

Fitted out with knee supports and large backpacks to get set out on a long journey on kids scooters

Scootering through Brough in East Yorkshire this morning, Joel, known on TikTok as Redheadresidence, said he had not been on a scooter since he was a child in a TikTok video.

He also said "Our knees, our elbows, our shoulders, our hands... everything feels completely broken at this point.

When their first two scooters started to fall apart after the second day and their lower backs were in "complete agony", they sold the scooters in a raffle to raise money for the charity and were given two more by some of their followers.

The pair, who are due to finish their adventure at 18:00 BST at The Tap House on Humber Street, Hull, have raised more than £50,000 so far.

Last year, they raised £115,000 for Chasing Rainbows when they walked 140 miles from Coventry to Wales before climbing Snowdon.

Talking about baby loss, Joel said in a TikTok video: "Before this happened to my sister, me and Shane were so naive to how often this happens.
