A CYCLING chicken will be helping to raise funds for Yorkshire Air Ambulance (YAA) during the Tour de France in Yorkshire.

James Potter Yorkshire Free Range Eggs will be donating 5p to the YAA for every pack of six large eggs sold during the event. The Potter family have created limited edition boxes featuring a sporty hen on a racing bike with the words “Pottering around Yorkshire”.

The boxes, which will carry YAA’s logo as well as details of the enhanced donation, will be in stores of Sainsbury’s, Asda and Tesco and Tesco Express for five weeks from June 23.
