A British cyclist has completed a 4,000-mile ride across the US, raising more than £25,000 for charity, a sum that included a donation from Dame Judi Dench.

Butcher, who works in student support at the University of Leeds, decided to take on the challenge in honour of his mother, Teresa, who was diagnosed with MS when he was a teenager.

Butcher, from Ilkley, West Yorkshire, started his journey in Times Square, New York, in April. He climbed about 120,000 ft (36,600 metres) during the ride, which is four times the height of Mount Everest.
