Andrew Stands Up To Cancer by running 50km
A regular visitor to Bridlington is taking part in the 10 Days of 5K event during October.
Andrew Wood, who owns a caravan at one of the holiday parks in Bridlington, is raising funds as part of the Stand Up to Cancer campaign.
Andrew said: “This October, I’m taking on Stand Up To Cancer’s 10 Days of 5K Challenge, completing 10 separate 5Ks – 50km in total – to raise money for Cancer
Research UK.
“I’m registered blind and was a keen runner.
“However, I was diagnosed with arthritis, and in 2024 I had a hip replacement.
“Since then, I have only been able to run 5k parkruns every now and again, so committing to running 50km throughout October is going to be a challenge.
“I decided to do this because I am very passionate about the work Cancer Research UK does.
“I was also diagnosed with Basal Cell Carcinoma skin cancer in 2023, so this is something that means a great deal to me personally.”
Andrew has set up a crowdfunding page and is looking to raise £150 through his exploits.
