Amazing service
I was blown away when the hospital dispatched my medicine via this service. I had no idea it existed, what an amazing service. A small contribution to the rider who came out in freezing cold weather
Thank you
Thanks so much for the home delivery of my medication to Kington when I came home from hospital after breaking my neck, so helpful at a stressful time.
Fantastic talk
Great talk to IAM Glos by Paul Wellon made it clear what a vital service this, so happy to make a donation and wish the organisation good biking for years to come.

Why I joined
I started riding at 17 and spent a significant part of the next 30 years serving in the Army in Europe. Unable to support anything like a Blood Bike group whilst serving, I joined a local IAM group as soon as I retired with the sole reason to become a Blood Biker. I see it as a great way to give back to the community, whilst also continuing my obvious interest in two wheels. The weather can be a pain, and sometimes getting up in the middle of the night for a call-out can be a little wearing, but the ‘job’ can offer a real sense of fulfilment. When you hand over a small parcel of meds to someone who has been waiting earnestly for it, to provide them some form of relief, you can see in their eyes that you have done something positive.
The riders and coordinators are a great bunch, and there is a certain camaraderie which reminds me of the good times in my former career. This is what keeps me rolling. Long may it continue.
Just..thank you
