Preston to Bristol
Category: News
17:00hrs on Thursday 14th April 2016 our Chairman received a call from the Analytics Manager at Royal Preston Hospital Path Lab asking if we could take a sample for analysis to the National Blood Service Laboratory at Bristol. The sample, from a very poorly patient, was due to be ready around 19:00hrs. The night Controller, Edgar Baines was contacted and Peter Wright the (K)night Rider from Central was the first rider in the relay.
Shropshire & Staffordshire Blood bikes (Louisa & Kirk) were contacted, as were Severn Freewheelers (Nathan) and Freewheelers (EVS) Bristol (Mark) and of course all were eager to help.
Sample collected at 19:08, handed over to SSBB at Keele Services, handed to SFBB at Frankley Services and finally handed to Freewheelers Bristol at The Gales. The sample was safely delivered at 23:55hrs.
