APPROXIMATELY fifty riders and horses will be taking part in a special ride on Sunday as part of the Ribble Valley effort to raise the £200,000 for a special endoscopic ultrasound equipment for the early diagnosis of cancer of the stomach and oesophagus.
Groups of riders will set of between 9am and 11am, from Downham covering a 12 mile route. Each rider has donated a minimum of £10 to take part and all those who complete the ride will be presented with a rosette.
The ride has been organised by Mrs Ann Banks who said: "I am delighted at the wonderful response to this ride. Those who take part will not only be enjoying a ride through the beautiful Ribble Valley countryside but contributing to a very worth while cause".
