A CANCER charity is urging people from East Lancashire to sign up for a fundraising ride across Cuba.

The Unite & Bike Against Cancer cycle challenge will take place from October 15 to October 23 2015.

The Rosemere Cancer Foundation is promoting the event to raise funds for local people living with cancer.

The 360km cycle will see riders will set off from Havana on the eight-day trek.

The event has been organised by Global Adventure Challenges.

In 2013, a Rosemere team raised more £16,000 in Tanzania.

The registration fee for Unite & Bike Against Cancer is £299 with a minimum sponsorship amount of £2,600.

To sign up for the challenge or for details, contact Dan Hill on 01772 528346 or email daniel.hill@rosemere.
