Urologists join cross-border cycle for charity

Two West Sussex doctors set off on an international cycling challenge in aid of urology research on Thursday.

William Britnell and Barnaby Chappell, both consultant urologists, are aiming to cycle from London to Amsterdam by 7 June.

"We're proud to take on this challenge, not only to test ourselves but to support the incredible work of The Urology Foundation," Mr Chappell said.

They are cycling alongside other colleagues from the field as part of Bike4TUF 2025, a challenge raising money for the urology charity.

The cycling route will take the doctors via Dunkirk, in France, and Renesse in the Netherlands - a total of over 300 miles (482km).

As well as raising funds to support The Urology Foundation's research, training and education work, the challenge seeks to raise awareness of urologists' work.

The 2024 challenge saw urology professionals cycle from London to Nantes in France.
