  "account": "A 16-year-old Norwich City fan named Ranulph Bacon completed a life-changing 120-mile cycling challenge to the club's opening away match of the season at Millwall. The challenge was set by striker Mo Touré, who congratulated Ranulph on completing the feat on Instagram. Ranulph, from Norwich, embarked on the journey in aid of Bungay Community Support, a charity that helps about 80 people. The cycling challenge spanned three days, with Ranulph starting from Carrow Road two days before the match. He met Touré and his mother, Victoria, at Millwall's ground before the game, which the Canaries lost 3-0. Ranulph and his mother completed the final 2.5 miles together. Victoria expressed her pride in her son and the positive support they received during the challenge. Bungay Community Support is seeking £400,000 to purchase a community center and ensure its future. Ranulph hopes to repeat the challenge every season for a new charity, inviting more people to join him in making a positive impact on the local community.",
