Barrett’s Oesophagus receives cheque for £10,000

Claire Twort, who lost her husband to cancer of the oesophagus, presented the Barrett's Oesophagus Foundation with a cheque for almost £10,000.

Claire and a team of supporters spent two days riding their bicycles some 63 miles around the Isle of Wight . Some keen cyclists, including Claire, went a little further and rode 75 miles.

Claire said: "It feels like a great achievement to have been supported by so many people and to be able to give such a large amount of money to Barrett's Oesophagus Foundation. I hope the money we have raised will prevent more people from dying of this awful disease".
