Doctors at Ledbury's Market Surgery are organising a sponsored bike ride to raise funds for a £3,000 defibrillator.

The event will give cyclists a choice between a 6-mile and an 18-mile route on Sunday, May 11.

The ride has been organised in support of the British Heart Foundation's drive to get more defibrillators into the community. The devices are used to re-start hearts following heart attacks and can double a patient's chances of survival. Further details on 01531 632423.
