THE sister of murdered MP Jo Cox will be taking part in a bike ride from West Yorkshire to London to celebrate her life, two years on from Jo Cox's death.

The ride, known as The Jo Cox Way, is now in its third year, and raises awareness and funds for the Jo Cox Foundation and More in Common, charities set up for causes championed by the late Batley and Spen MP.

The five-day ride will begin at the Princess Mary Stadium in Cleckheaton on Wednesday, July 25, arriving in London four days later after stop-offs in Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Oxfordshire and Middlesex.

Kim Leadbeater, Jo Cox's sister, will be one of around 50 cyclists taking on the 285 mile ride.

She said: “The bike ride is an opportunity to focus on the resilience of communities when horrific things happen such as Jo's murder, the terror attack at London's Borough Market and the tragedy at Grenfell Tower.

"These horrendous circumstances have a way of making people pull together to work for the common good.”

Sarfraz Mian, who organises the fundraiser, added: "Kim has supported us from the very beginning and I am thrilled that she is now getting on her bike to join us.

“I never knew Jo, but I consider it a real privilege to be able to help continue the work that she was so passionate about."
