Big Bike Charity Hike

 

We are a group of friends who all enjoy motorcycling and at some point in our lives have known someone close to us that has suffered from cancer.  With this in mind we plan to motorbike around the coast of the UK, on 27th June 2010 over 14 days, raising money for the following charities:-

 

Cancer Research UK  - Donate Here

We are looking to raise over £10,000 for Cancer Research UK who are the worlds leading organisation dedicated to cancer research.

 

Oakhaven Hospice  -  Donate Here

We are also looking to raise over £10,000 for Oakhaven Hospice, who are a Lymington based organisation that provides specialist palliative care and support to those facing life-limiting illness and their loved ones in both a home and hospice setting. Their team of specialist Oakhaven nurses, doctors, counsellors and physiotherapistease physical symptoms and offer psychological, spiritual and social support.

Our challenge is to circumnavigate the UK, staying close to the coastline, stopping at many coastal towns and villages along the way.  The trip will take approximately 14 days covering between 3500 and 4000 miles, this equates to, on average, 275 miles a day, resulting in several sore derrieres!

 

Check out our Challenge page for details about our route

 

We have arranged the start to be from Beaulieu Motor Museum on 27th June 2010, this is the day that Beaulieu are holding an event called the 'Motorcycle Muster' we aim to get started on our trip during the event and then also finish at Beaulieu on or about 10th July 2010.  We will also be attending the Autojumble at Beaulieu where we will have a stand with details of our trip and collecting sponsors.

 

We are looking for companies to support us with sponsorship as well as individuals, we have set up two websites on justgiving.com, address’s as above we also have sponsor forms if anyone wishes to donate but not online.

 

Less than two weeks to go now, any help with accomodation would be appreciated, either in a field, garden, shed, garage, house, anywhere thats cheap, even better if its free!

 

If you wish to help us, in any way, with the running costs of the ride etc, it would also be very much appreciated, please contact us for details.

Thank you for your support.
