Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. Myself, my brother George and our friend Brian Turnbull will be attempting to ride vintage motorcylces from John o'Groats to Lands End to help Shelby Newstead in their mission of supporting children with serious illnesses. It won't be an easy journey on old and unpredictable bikes, so all of your support on our fundraising adventure would mean a lot to all of us. Please give as little or as much as you are happy to give. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

About the charity

Friends of Shelby Newstead

RCN 1148360
Friends of Shelby Newstead (FoSN) children’s charity is known to many people and institutions thanks to the work it has done since it was formed in 1996. In 1996, Shelby, daughter of David and Sally Newstead, was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma at the age of nine months. Thanks to the heroic efforts of medical staff and a nutritional dietary program Shelby survived this most fearsome of cancers and thrived. Indeed, today she is a 26 year old sophisticated young lady who just happens to be a talented artist. So grateful were Shelby’s parents for the treatment their daughter had received that they, together with a group of close friends, decided to start a charity that would help other sick children less fortunate. Since 1996 close to £950,000 has been raised and in 2016 the charity received a Pride of Britain award. Shelby contributes to this fundraising by offering her stunning works of art for auction at the annual Friends of Shelby Newstead ball. Shelby’s art has been selected for the National Students awards, displayed in the Mall Galleries, London, won the John Downton award and has exhibited in the Turner Contemporary. Shelby’s art continues to raise thousands of pounds for the charity founded in her name. Please help us to help others!
