Story

On average, 6 motorcyclists are killed or seriously injured every week in the UK. In 2019, Luke was sadly one of those killed whilst riding his motorcycle in the company of great friends.

Luke was just 28 when he died and was a much loved and well respected Police Constable for Staffordshire Police working in Stoke-on-Trent. In his memory, his family set up #LukesLegacy - DocBike Staffordshire…

DocBike Staffordshire is a charity seeking to put a highly trained trauma doctor or critical care paramedic on two wheels to help save bikers lives. Working alongside local emergency services, the charity seeks to provide life-saving critical care whilst also helping to prevent collisions from happening in the first place with awareness sessions, engagement and fundraising.

It costs approximately £50,000 to put a DocBike on the road and the charity receives no direct funding from the Government, relying on generosity to continue its life-saving work.

Luke was a great friend to us both, a source of endless laughs and will be #ForeverOnOurRides.

Dan and Charl are proud to take on the Manchester Marathon 2026 in order to raise funds for a cause that is close to our hearts and to remember a much loved and missed friend.

Anything you can spare to help support this wonderful charity would be greatly appreciated!
