A Southampton resident will soon begin his cycle from London to Paris, with the hopes of raising funds for the Southampton University cancer immunology unit.

Sean Whelan, is embarking on the gruelling challenge after his father in law Bob Hookway received treatment within the ward for Skin Cancer, of which he is now completely cancer free.

Sean also lost his own father to lung cancer in 2003 and hopes this charity ride will not only raise vital funds, but inspire others to push themselves for great causes.

So we went to see Sean as he trains before he sets off on July the 24th.
