MONEY FOR CHARITY

Outreach Tutor Nazaket Ali will lead a team of eleven youngsters on a marathon bike ride to raise money for The Cancer Research Campaign.

The team, from West Bowling Youth Initiative, hope to raise over £5,000 from their epic ride from Bowness to Ilkley.

Team Leader Nazaket, of the Department of Continuing Education, said: "This is going to be a real challenge, but we have already received lots of support from groups, including the West Yorkshire Police. We hope the local community will encourage us further by sponsoring us along the way."

The Cancer Research Campaign's Special Appeal Manager, Rebecca Page, said: "Our thanks to all at West Bowling Youth Initiative for taking on this challenge and showing they care so much for what The Cancer Research Campaign is trying to do for people with cancer in Bradford and beyond.

"The money raised will help doctors and scientists in Bradford and throughout the country to find new cures and better treatments for cancer and so save more lives." The Cancer Research Campaign funds a third of all cancer research in the UK and is European leader in anticancer drug development. This year the charity will invest more than £61m in projects undertaken by over 1,500 doctors and scientists in universities, hospitals and research institutes nationwide.

The University is supporting 'Bike to Work Week' which runs from June 18 to June 22. For further details see What's On, contact Brian Ford on 3421, or visit our website at http://www.brad.ac.uk/ campus/uni-cyclist
