A charity bike ride in Wimborne this weekend will be an emotional one.

31 year Mike Payne from Corfe Mullen was meant to be part of a team of riders in The Pirate Pedal for Poole-based children's hospice Julia's House ... before he was left paralysed by a fall from a bridge at the end of June.

The event was postponed ... but will be held from today - with Mike's three teammates attempting to cycle 200 miles to raise money for the hospice.
