A father and son have raised more than £1,200 cycling 100 miles around Norfolk to raise funds for the scientific battle against prostate cancer.
Mark Donaldson, who serves as Dereham Town FC’s youth chair, completed the challenge in a series of rides with his nine-year-old son, Edward, throughout the course of May.
“The weather was so poor at the beginning of May, we couldn’t really get out without being absolutely drenched - and then, ironically, this weekend it was too hot, but we had to do it,” said Mr Donaldson.
The disease was a contributing factor in the death of Mr Donaldson’s father, Terry, at the age of 72 in 2018.
"I still miss him every day," wrote Mr Donaldson, in a message to people donating.
“It affects 1 in 8 [men at some point in their lifetime], which is an incredible number,” he pointed out.
