Willies rides 2000 miles for Mental Health Motorbike
Will Chamberlin is raising money for Mental Health Motorbike
Story
On July 29th 2025 I will be setting off on my motorcycle to ride to each corner of the UK (and back) in 48 hrs. The ride will be approximately 2000 miles non-stop on two wheels to raise money for mens health.
WILLIE DOES THE FULL MONTY!
THE RIDE
Approximately 2000 miles in 48 hrs on a 15 year old Triumph Bonneville travelling to each corner of the UK. I will leave central London on July 29th and travel to:
> Lowestoft, England
> John o Groats, Scotland
> St Davids, Wales
> Lands End, England
I am hoping to finish this MEGA ride back in central London within 48 hrs and with an intact bottom.
WHY?
Mens health and particularly mental health is something very close to me. In recent years anxiety and depression has been something I have been wrestling with alongside my partner and I am on a mission to be more open about it, to talk to my friends about it and to help bring an end to preventable deaths and harm as a result of mental health struggles. I have been fortunate to be surrounded by support and positive influence in my life particularly through the motorcycle community and hope to extend that to anyone who will listen.
Along the way I will be checking in with friendly faces to chat about mens health and what the charity partners for this ride are doing to help cure the biggest killer of men in the UK. 5656 men died by suicide in 2023, that's sadly 5656 too many.
Our fathers, partners, brothers and friends are facing a health crisis, yet it’s rarely talked about. Men are dying too young. We can’t afford to stay silent.
WHO AM I SUPPORTING?

HOW CAN I KEEP UP TO DATE?
I will be documenting the challenge on my Instagram and TikTok (Links below) as well as filming the whole ride, and the chats I have along the way with the help of my teammates Ethan & Sam who are driving the whole way with me with cameras in hand. We will be releasing a full video on Youtube in August 2025. Thank you guys.
THANK YOU
