A BURNLEY fundraiser is cycling 45 miles in aid of a testicular cancer awareness charity.

Matthew Allen, of Kyan Street, Burnley, will leave his home on Sunday, and ride through Rawtenstall, Waterfoot, Todmorden Moor, Hebden Bridge, the Long Causeway, and Cliviger before arriving back in Burnley.

The ride is in aid of checkemlads.com

Matthew said: “In the past I have helped to raise funds for various cancer charities as too many people I know have been affected by this terrible illness. It has been a while since I have done an event for testicular cancer as I have been personally affected by this illness. I have been fortunate to beat it.”
