A CLITHEROE cyclist is to tackle 120 miles of the world’s most famous cycle race in a bid to help his four year-old cousin.


Matthew Burian has Hunter’s Disease, an


incurable genetic and metabolic disorder so rare that as few as 52 babies have been discovered to have it in the past 10 years. His cousin, Andrew Ciezarek (25), pictured below with Matthew, of Clitheroe, is to compete in the 15th Etape du


Tour next month, a classic mountain stage in this year’s gruelling Tour de France.


Matthew, who lives in Higherford with mum


and dad, Joanne and Mariano (better known as Mario) and sister, Daniella (seven), successfully came through a major operation at the Royal


Children’s Hospital, Manchester, to fit him with a valve to enable enzyme replacement therapy to be administered; which was due to start this week. His family, from Burnley and Clitheroe as well


as Pendle, all support the hospital’s GEM Appeal.


Andrew will be on his bike in the heart of


the French Pyrenees. It takes a whole day and will be held on closed roads between the villages of Foix and Loudenvielle. He will start with another 8,000 enthusiasts on what might have seemed to be a good day out - until he finds himself tackling 120 miles of mountainous terrain at soaringly high alti­ tudes. He says it is a challenge not to be passed up, an opportunity to folllow the same route pedalled by his heroes, like world stars Lance Armstrong, Miguel Indurain and Eddy Merckxx. Andrew, who works at Science in Sport,


Brockhall, said: “I saw Matthew after his operation and he had done very well - he was running around like mad. There is no cure for his disease, which results in the accumu­ lation of sugar in the blood due to an enzyme deficiency, but with the help of the replace­ ment therapy it is hoped that its severity is minimised and his quality of life maintained. Treatment will be for life. Without it he could develop severe, progressive physical problems and ones attacking his intellect.” Anyone wishing to support Andrew’s
