TWO Barnsley cousins are fund-raising for a sponsored cycle ride from Land's End to John O'Groats in June.
James Pooley, 17, of Grimethorpe, and Carl Dundas, 32, of Barnsley, are raising money for motor neurone disease (MND) and leukaemia charities.
They have so far raised more than £1,000 to help fund the ride, with a goal of £1,500. All amounts raised over this amount will be donated to MND and leukaemia charities.
They hope to start on June 16 and to complete the challenge in nine days.

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."
