A PUB landlord got on his bike and cycled 430 miles in five days to raise £2,000 for cancer research.
Chris Brown, 53, owner of the Manor House Inn, near Shotley Bridge, County Durham, cycled from Aberdeen to his home as part of Cancer Research UK's Man Alive campaign, which focuses on cancers that affect men.
Mr Brown said: "I feel very passionately about highlighting cancers that affect men and the need to be more up-front about taking action if something is wrong.
"Cycling from Aberdeen to Shotley Bridge seemed like a good way to raise money and keep fit at the same time.
"I am already planning next year's event and I am aiming to go even further."
Cancer Research community fundraiser Suzanne McKenna said: "We are very grateful for all the hard work and effort he put into raising so much money."
