Lions Club of Morpeth have always been big supporters of Blood Bikes over the years. Recently one of their members passed away and the memorial collection was dedicated to 'Northumbria Blood Bikes'. Additionally the Club itself would like to make a further donation.
Andrew joined Northumbria Blood Bikes as a volunteer following his youngest son’s open heart surgery 8 years ago. During the operation his son received a significant blood transfusion which was made possible through the support of Northumbria Blood Bikes.
Andrew’s reason for volunteering with our charity was featured on BBC One’s Morning Live on Thursday 6th March.
Chad joined Northumbria Blood Bikes when he found myself sitting in NSECH hospital, in Cramlington, for end of life care with his Dad. Every evening he heard motorbikes pulling up below the window, outside the Pathology lab entrance. He found out that it was Northumbria Blood Bikes delivering notes.
