58 riders for the PLANETS London to Paris 24 hour cycle challenge were fuelled to complete the gruelling 300+ kilometre distance by a very generous donation of bananas from Geest Line.

The money raised during the event, in excess of £65000, will be used to pay the next 6 months of instalments in the purchase of an intraoperative radiotherapy machine, which will put Southampton at the forefront of advanced surgical oncology therapies worldwide.
