Martin County resident Norman Stocks set out to roller skate 70 miles from Greenville to Ahoskie in Hertford County Tuesday.

Stocks told WITN he completed his mission Wednesday around 3:15 pm.

He says the hardest part of the trek was some rocky sections of roadway.

Stocks says he made the trip to raise money for a non-profit Christian roller skating rink he operates in Robersonville.

He says the rink offers kids a place to go and have fun in a safe environment, and that several improvements to the rink are in the works.

He says several businesses have sponsored his ride.
