Story

I’m fundraising for Children’s Hospice South West to help make the most of short and precious lives.

Children's Hospice South West provides hospice stays, emergency care, palliative care and end of life care at 3 children's hospices; Little Bridge House in Devon, Charlton Farm in North Somerset and Little Harbour in Cornwall.

SANTA'S ON A BIKE 2025

As many of you know, this is a charity I have supported for many years. It also combines my love of motorcycles and the way they bring people together.

I hope none of us ever need to use the services of this fantastic charity or the wonderful people who work there. I can think of nothing worse, to be honest. I know that at this time of year there are many charities asking for money, and many of them without our help, support, and donations struggle to keep going.

So, if each one of you reading this can spare a quid or two, it would mean so much to the hospice. If not, don’t worry I understand, maybe next time!

But please spare a thought for all the children who are sick and can’t be at home around the tree with their families and friends, opening their presents from Santa. It’s only a quid that’s less than the cost of a beer when you think about it.

Why not come along and support all the Santas, Elves, reindeer, Snowmen and Snowwomen who take the time to dress up, brave the weather over 800 of em, and ride out for this super cause? Bring the kids, give us a wave! It means a lot for us to see people out on the streets clapping, taking pictures, and showing their support. It really does mean the world to us all.

In the attached picture, you see me talking to a little boy — that’s my grandson back in 2020. He loves watching all the Santas, and this year he is 12 and hopefully will be joining me on the ride too! He is even donating his £5 pocket money!
