A FATHER will cycle 170 miles to raise money for a children's cancer charity which supported his family after his son was diagnosed with a rare bone cancer.
Andrew Hawkins, of Park View, Worsbrough Bridge, and seven of his friends set off from Morecambe on Saturday and head to Bridlington.
Andrew's son Jack, ten, was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in December 2012.
Andrew said he wanted to raise money for the Parents' Association of Children with Tumours and Leukaemia, which is based at Sheffield Children's Hospital, because of the help and support given to Jack and his family.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
