MORE than £50,000 has now been raised by a Selby cycling event.

Yorkshire Cancer Research will received the money to help support people living with the disease in the county after thousands of pounds was raised by the Selby Three Swans Sportive.

About 1,100 people took part in the fifth annual event on Sunday, September 3.

The event has become a firm favourite with cyclists of all abilities due to its flat, fast route and choice of three distances. The money raised will support innovative research and community health projects to help more people in Yorkshire survive cancer.
