On May 19, the actor known for his roles in Casualty and Coronation Street, as well as being behind Dales Music Store in his home town will begin a 30-day, 2,500-mile ride, stopping at 100 motorbike cafés to raise awareness and funds for Brain Tumour Research and Headway - the brain injury association.
‘Shaun’s TT 100’ is dedicated to Charles’ late friend Shaun, and will honour his memory with every mile.
