Based at the Haskins Garden Centre in Ferndown, members and friends of Parley Rotary Club put pedal power to the test over the Fathers’ Day weekend to raise more than £2,500.
The money has been shared between Prostate Cancer UK and the Dorset based Prostate Cancer Support Organisation, the latter providing free prostate cancer screening services for men across the county. Prostate cancer strikes one in eight men and kills 30 men in the UK every day.
The plucky volunteers took to the saddle of two static bikes and managed to complete two laps of a round trip of 67 miles – between the home of AFC Bournemouth and the Saint’s St Mary’s stadium in Southampton.
Speaking of the achievement, Parley Rotarian and event organiser Paul Reade said, “To cover 134 miles is quite an achievement; to raise £2,500 in the process is fantastic.”
