Hey everybody, Billy from Billys Bike Adventures. Thanks for tuning in today and watching the video.
Now last weekend I did a really nice 150 miler around Cambridgeshire into Peterborough and up
around the top and back down again back back home. And whilst I was on this ride,
it was a beautiful beautiful day, so as you would expect lots of other riders out and about.
I was riding on the A47 and stopped off in a lay by that had a burger van
and I got talking to a really nice chap called Gary.
Gary, he was riding a BMW 800 GT, his absolute pride and joy. Loves the bike,
really nice clean bike obviously looks after it.
In talking to Gary he shared with me that he is a full-time carer for his mum. His mum has
Alzheimer's disease and he is a full-time carer as I said.
He also shared with me that he is doing a charity ride from the 12th to the 23rd of
July and it is with a charity called the Riders of Charity and he is doing this to help raise money
for Alzheimer's research and also for the MIND charity as well which is the two charities that
Riders of Charity are supporting at this moment in time or for this ride.
They are doing the ride from Lands End to John O'Groats and so
I have got two requests of you today please.
The first one is to head over to the Riders of Charity website. Here it is. And so it's riders
of charity dot co dot uk forward slash the hyphen ride and it will bring you to this page okay and
so all the information for what they are doing is on here. It has got the dates and it has got
the view, you can view the routes and the details of exactly where they are going to be and when.
So two requests. The first request of you today is to make a donation to the charity.
So they have got a gofundme fundraising page
and so click, just type in gofundme into the into your search browser
and then search for Riders of Charity and please make a donation. Anything that you can spare.
Now Billys Bike Adventure community spans beyond the the borders of the UK into America,
Canada, Australia, Asia, India elsewhere as well. So anything that you can spare,
whatever your currency is. In the UK
it is pounds and pennies any pennies or pounds that you can spare to help the charity
would be much appreciated for Alzheimer's and also the MIND mental health charity as well.
It is two very worthwhile causes and I think for Gary one of the things that I can do to help
support the charities is to advertise their ride on my website and on my YouTube page and also my
Facebook and Instagram accounts as well, hence why I am doing this today and asking a favour of you.
So please give whatever you can afford to give, pennies or pounds, it is all very welcomed and
it is all for a good cause to help Alzheimer's research as well as the MIND charity as well.
The other request that I have for you is to if you want to help support them in
another way is to is to actually ride with them during their trip as well.
Now they have got 12 days from Lands End to John O'Groats. Have a look on their their website, Riders of Charity website
and view the route details that they are going to be where and when they are going to be riding and if you want to support them by riding with them just
for a few hours, a whole day or more than a day, then please get in touch with them
and confirm your attendance, when and where you are going to be the date
and they will be more than happy to have you tag along as well.
Now it is pretty booked up already. I don't think there is a limit on terms of space
but there is a lot of riders committed to this already. So you are bound to
make some new friends out of this as well and it is for a worthwhile cause and you will
be supporting those riders that are doing it specifically for this charity as well.
So the two requests. Give a donation and also tag along for the ride as well. Get in touch with the
Riders of Charity, go to their gofundme page as well. All the information is in the description
of this video, so all the links will be in there for to go to their gofundme page,
to their website and also their Twitter, Facebook and the Instagram accounts as well,
so you can leave some messages of support as well.
So if you could do that for me that would be very much appreciated by me and by Riders of Charity
and everybody that is involved with the ride that is taking place from the 12th to the 23rd.
So thank you very much in advance for doing that very much appreciated
and I will catch you again very soon
