Ever since my accident in November, I have been thinking of ways to raise money for the air ambulance, if only to pay them back for some of the expense I put them to! It amazes me that such an incredibly valuable service is self-funded, receiving no money at all from central government of the national lottery.
One of my ideas is this ride - it simply involves you riding your motorcycle to specific locations in the national parks of Britain. There are 15 altogether (including the South Downs which is currently under consideration for NP status), and you can choose how many you visit, in what order, and at what time, as long as they are all in th same calendar year (Jan to Dec). Certificates will be given for achieving 5 (Bronze),10 (Silver) or all 15 visits (Gold).
I hope people will get involved, if only to have an excuse to get out on their bikes and support a very worthwhile charity.
Further details and how to register can be found on my website here.
