Cyclists braved a wet and windy and grey day to ride 60 miles down the Northumberland Coast to raise cash to fight cancer.

Posted: August 26, 2018

The Great North Bike Ride is raced in the memory of Chris Lucas, a teenager from Wallsend who died after contracting a rare form of cancer, rhabdomyosarcoma, which he bravely fought for three years.

The Chris Lucas Trust was set up in his name, to raise money which funds research into rhabdomyosarcoma, a cancer which grows in muscles.

It was a drizzly morning in Northumberland, but it did little to deter the cyclists as they made their way south to Tynemouth , having set off from a Seahouses car park shortly before 9am.
