BIKE mad Fareham scouts have pedalled their way to raising nearly £800 for Leukaemia Busters.

Members of the 17th Fareham Scout Group persuaded youngsters from other local scout groups to join a sponsored bike ride in aid of the Southampton-based charity, which is funding research into new drugs to treat childhood leukaemia.

All pledges have now been turned into cash and the scouts held a barbecue at Holy Trinity Church Hall, in Fareham, where they presented the charity with a cheque.
