“Both are incredibly popular. We have been the beneficiary of the Taps bike ride for years and over that time, have received nearly £65,000 from its organisers.

“Of this, just over £9,000 went to support our 20th Anniversary Appeal which launched in 2017 to equip our regional specialist cancer centre in Preston with the world’s most advanced robotic surgical system and also to fund a cancer clinical trials co-ordinator.

“The impact these two Lytham events have made and will hopefully continue to make on local cancer patients’ lives cannot be over-estimated and we are very grateful and proud to be associated with them.”
