4000 Mile Bike Ride For Father With Cancer

Sunday, 1 May 2022 16:57

An East Suffolk father has begun cycling around the UK this weekend - a feat in itself for most of us - but even more incredible as he’s been diagnosed with an aggressive prostate cancer, leaving him with a limited life expectancy.

Kev Baldwin is set off from Lowestoft's Ness Point this morning, (Sunday 1st May) - aiming to bike 50km along the Suffolk coast in the first day.

The father of three is raising money for Cancer Research UK - and you can follow his 4000 mile ride @compass4cancer and donate by heading to his website .
