North West Blood Bikes

At 23:03 on Tuesday 26th July, West rider Andy Livesey, with controller Sharon Johnson, completed the 25,000th run for North West Blood Bikes - Lancs & Lakes.

The figure of 25,000 runs in 4 years doesn’t show the true story of just how many people North West Blood Bikes has helped over the last 4 years. Quite often our riders are carrying multiple items, so although they are making 1 journey, they could have 4 or 5 samples from patients that require life saving treatment strapped to the rear of their bikes. It is impossible to know how many lives the work of our volunteers have changed, the patients, their families, even the medical staff involved, but what we can say is that each and everyone of them do their duty with pride, many volunteer because they want to give something back to the NHS and all of our volunteers do it because they care.
