Cyclists urged to join charity ride

There are three routes available for different abilities

There is an appeal for Jersey cyclists to take part in a charity ride around the island.

More than 300 people are taking part in the island's Kleinwort Benson Cycle Challenge.

Last year the event raised over £30,000 for the Anthony Nolan Trust.

The annual 60-mile ride is the main fundraiser of the year for the charity, to raise money to find suitable bone marrow donors for leukaemia sufferers.

Sandra Platts is the chairman of the Jersey Friends of the Anthony Nolan Trust.

She said the first cyclists will set off at 0845 BST from West Park.

Islanders of any age can take part and anyone who does not want to tackle the full distance can opt for the 25 or the 10-mile circuit , which is suitable for all abilities.
