Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On Sunday, 19th of July 2015, Our son Joshua passed away suddenly in his sleep. Joshua was loved and known by so many people. My son had severe disabilities and spent many years in and out of Alder Hey Children's Hospital. Joshua went to Zoë's Place Baby Hospice and Claire House Children's Hospice for respite. The day Joshua passed away Claire House offered us support for the family and Joshua was able to lay to rest peacefully in The Butterfly Suite. Our family was able to stay in a suite close to Joshua so that we were able to spend as much time with him as possible. Joshua’s funeral was held on 31st of July 2015, and we were so overwhelmed by the number of people that came to celebrate our little boys life. In 2016 we did a ride to Anglesey to raise money for Claire House Children’s Hospice, where Joshua had respite, and we managed to raise over £1200. In 2017 for Zoë's Place Baby Hospice where Joshua also went for respite, we managed to raise just over £1000. 2018, for chART, who are an incredible charity who raise money to get the equipment that children with disabilities need to get the best care possible, we managed to raise over £1,300! 2019 we’ve raised money for Rockin’ For Tots, who raise funds and awareness for the neonatal care of babies, total amount raised was over £1500. Last year was for Merseyside & Cheshire Blood Bikes, MCBB who are a Voluntary service and rely on public donations to keep the service running, This years chosen charity is for Alder Hey Imagine Appeal, Joshua spent most of his life in and out of Alder hey requiring treatment, operations, many reviews and appointments. Without the help of Alder hey and the service they provide also the fabulous Dr's and nurse's Joshua wouldn't of survived ❤❤



The date is set for Sunday, 22nd August 2021 @ 10am from 11 Millwood Road, Speke, L24 2UP. We would like to mark Joshua's 6th year by riding to his favourite place in Anglesey, near South Stack Lighthouse.

Anyone with 2 or 4 wheels is welcome to join us for an incredible ride on this special day.
This will be 125cc friendly as the route will be all A roads with a twist...😁
