Starting on the 5th June 2015 a group of us will be riding pedal bikes, not motorbikes ;-( from Newcastle to London. 300 miles in 3 days, and lots of hills (no we’re nor riding down the M1)
Primary reason is just to be able to say we did it, but we also want to raise money for a very worthwhile cause, Northumbria blood bikes.
The Great North Air Ambulance Service is starting a car based service on a Friday & Saturday nights to provide emergency cover at busy times when the helicopter doesn’t fly. The Blood on Board service will be extended to include the car allowing trauma specialists working with GNAAS save even more lives, by delivering emergency blood directly to the scene of life-threatening accidents.
To support the extension of the Blood on Board service, Northumbria Blood Bikes will be delivering an extra cool box on Thursday and Friday evenings.
