Prostate Charity Cycle Ride 2024
Sept 8th 24
It is a sad fact that one in eight men in this country will be diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. Whilst treatable with good survival rates, it is obvious that the more that is known about the disease the better the outcome will be. Members of the Rotary Club of North Fylde to set about raising monies for the ongoing research into this unfortunately quite common cancer.
Accordingly, with this aim in mind, on 8th September a goup of North Fylde Rotary Club members and friends set off on a Charity Cycle Ride to raise monies for Prostate Cancer Research. The cycling team were supported by Club members and friends and in total 13 riders took part.
Whilst the morning was overcast and cloudy, the team were in high spirits as the forecast rain had not arrived. Starting at Hambleton the ride weaved it's way through the lanes to the "Barn" at Scorton, where bacon butties and cups of tea were the order of the day.
Rested and refreshed the team mounted their bikes again only to find the forecast rain had merely been delayed and had arrived for the return trip. It was a wet and weary group who returned to Hambleton.
These efforts had not been in vain. To date the charity ride has raised £1,200 for Prostate Cancer Research. Many thanks for all those taking part and for the very generous donations.
