WHY? โ€“ OUR VOLUNTEERSโ€™ STORIES ๐Ÿ๏ธโค๏ธ

Every volunteer has a reason. This is one of ours.

Iโ€™ve been a Blood Bike rider for eight years to help others, riding as a way of saying thank you for the care I received many years ago after an accident at home that resulted in a broken back. Thanks to the incredible care I received, I went on to live a normal life ๐Ÿ’™

While waiting outside a hospital for a scheduled collection, I was approached by a doctor who was asking about Blood Bikes. Looking at him, I had a feeling I knew him. I asked his name โ€” and it turned out he was my consultant spine surgeon.

When I told him โ€œit was you who sorted meโ€, he looked me up and down and said:

โ€œI did a good job then, didnโ€™t I โ€” and youโ€™re doing a good job for us.โ€

I think that says it all.

Then last year, life came full circle. I spent eight nights in ITU suffering with pneumonia. Once again, I found myself relying on the NHS โ€” and without them, Iโ€™m not sure I would have survived.

Thatโ€™s why I ride ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ๏ธ

Could this be your why? If youโ€™d like to support the NHS and make a real difference, Blood Bikes Wales would love to hear from you. ๐Ÿš‘๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ๏ธ

๐Ÿ‘€ Ever get the feeling youโ€™re being followedโ€ฆ?

On a cold, blustery, wet evening back in December 2024, one of our Aberystwyth riders was returning from Tywyn Hospital to Aberystwyth.
Lights on, weather closing in, just another quiet Blood Bikes Wales run ๐ŸŒง๏ธ๐Ÿ๏ธ

Or so they thoughtโ€ฆ

Behind them were Mr & Mrs J Davies โ€” following along, watching what we do, and quietly taking it all in. And no, not all followers are a bad thing ๐Ÿ˜‰

That night led to an incredibly generous ยฃ500 donation in January 2025 โค๏ธ
And this monthโ€ฆ they did it again with an amazing ยฃ1,000 donation ๐Ÿ’™

Proof that you never really know whoโ€™s watching โ€” or the impact a simple journey can have.

Thank you Mr & Mrs Davies for believing in what we do and for supporting our volunteers who ride out whatever the weather, for good ๐Ÿ’ช

Please share and sign this petition, the volunteers risk their lives daily to provide vital services free of charge to the NHS, sadly their has been too many tragic losses, although these riders are very experienced and highly trained, this petition is to allow Blood bikers to use the Medical Green emergency light/beacon to provide greater visibility whilst on the road, Thank you

Grant permission for blood bikers to use green lights
