A group of 20 cyclists, made up of medical staff, charity workers and breast cancer survivors, have set off from Worcestershire on a 300-mile fundraising journey to France.
The route takes the group from the Worcestershire Breast Unit Haven, in Worcester, and all the way to Brest, in the French north west.
Breast surgeon Steven Thrush, speaking at the start line, said: “We’re all here, we’re all excited. It’s terrifying but we’ve got 20 of us all dressed up and it’s sunny, which is brilliant.”
He said the cyclists were already nearing their £20,000 goal for the unit which helps those with breast cancer.
