WHY? – OUR VOLUNTEERS’ STORIES 🏍️❤️

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

I’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 💙

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 — and it turned out he was my consultant spine surgeon.

When I told him “it was you who sorted me”, he looked me up and down and said:

“I did a good job then, didn’t I — and you’re doing a good job for us.”

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 — and without them, I’m not sure I would have survived.

That’s why I ride 💙🏍️

Could this be your why? If you’d like to support the NHS and make a real difference, Blood Bikes Wales would love to hear from you. 🚑💙🏍️

👀 Ever get the feeling you’re being followed…?

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 🌧️🏍️

Or so they thought…

Behind them were Mr & Mrs J Davies — following along, watching what we do, and quietly taking it all in. And no, not all followers are a bad thing 😉

That night led to an incredibly generous £500 donation in January 2025 ❤️
And this month… they did it again with an amazing £1,000 donation 💙

Proof that you never really know who’s watching — 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 💪

A big shout out to these real life heroes, Wesley Wez Beynon, his uncle Marc and all those involved, shining example of bravery, integrity and honour, 👊SYLO👊 ⬛️⬜️

MERTHYR'S MORNING HERO TRIBUTE: WESLEY WEZ BEYNON AND MATES SAVE BABY FROM BLAZING WRECK! THANK YOU! ♥️🙏

As Merthyr Tydfil wakes up, let's give a massive thank you to Wesley Wez Beynon and his brave mates – the everyday legends who turned a fiery nightmare into a miracle.

These Valleys heroes sprinted into action, ripping open the burning Vauxhall's doors and pulling a helpless baby to safety just as flames roared higher. Without their split-second courage, a family's world would have shattered forever.

Wesley Wez and the lads embody true Merthyr spirit – selfless, fearless, and first to help when it matters most. The community stands tall and proud because of you boys. You're all HEROES!
