Sam Tate, a 30-year-old accountant, lost his battle with Hodgkin Lymphoma in November 2012, having being diagnosed with the rare form of blood cancer in 2011.

A group of his friends, which includes his fiancée, Sarah, and two staff members from Airedale Hospital, are tackling the 150-mile ride from Blackpool to Bridlington to raise money for Airedale Hospital’s Haematology and Oncology Day Unit, which supported him through his illness.
