I’m a motorcycle photographer based in Northamptonshire, and over the years I’ve seen just how much the motorcycle community can mean to people. For many of us, getting on a bike isn’t simply about riding — it can be a way to escape the pressures of everyday life, clear your mind, meet people, and feel part of something.

Mental health is an incredibly important part of our lives, yet it’s something that can often be overlooked. I believe we need to look after ourselves and, just as importantly, look out for the people around us — both on and off the bike.

That’s why I’ve chosen Mental Health Motorbike as the charity this year. Their work supporting mental health within the motorcycle community is a cause I feel very strongly about, and I want to use my photography and the biker community to help raise both awareness and much-needed donations to increase mental health first aid and support across the country.

Due to the incredible number of volunteers who have come forward this year, there may be two different biker calendars produced. Regardless of how many calendars are created, all funds raised through this project will go towards Mental Health Motorbike.

If you’re able to donate, no matter how small the amount, I would be incredibly grateful. Every contribution will help support a charity that is working to make a real difference to people within our motorcycle community. And if you can’t donate, please consider sharing this page with your friends, family and fellow bikers. Spreading the word can be just as valuable.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for supporting this year’s fundraiser.

Let’s look after ourselves. Let’s look after each other. And let’s keep the motorcycle community strong.
