Matt Parsons will cycle from Bath to Lyon in France and then run a marathon to raise money for Cancer Research UK after his wife, Jess Parsons, was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of breast cancer.

A firefighter plans to cycle from Somerset to France and run a marathon in support of his wife, who is going through a second diagnosis of breast cancer .
