Officers in the Manningham and Toller Neighbourhood Policing Team in Bradford have raised about £600 for Yorkshire Cancer Research through a 60-mile plus cycle ride.

Sergeant John Redding, PC Craig Snowden, PC Dave Hudson and his wife Vicky, who works for the Youth Offending Team, took part in the annual Pedal for Pounds event starting and finishing at Ilkley Rugby Club. The cycle took the officers about eight hours.

Sgt Redding said: “It was extremely difficult but, I guess, nothing compared to the suffering of cancer patients.”
