Cycle ride to help cancer charity

A Jersey charity is hoping more than 600 people will get involved in a Channel Islands cycle challenge.

Money raised from the Kleinwort Benson Cycle Challenge will go to the Jersey Friends of the Anthony Nolan Trust, which funds research into leukaemia.

Last year's challenge raised £33,000 and organisers aim to get over £40,000 from cyclists' sponsorship this year.

People can choose to ride 10, 25 or 60 miles in the event which is taking place on 10 October.

The Anthony Nolan Trust was set up in 1974 as the first register of volunteers willing to donate bone marrow to people with leukaemia who cannot find a match.
