“I heard about Northumbria Blood Bikes via their website. I had previously been looking into assisting another group (SERV OBN) before taking up a new job in Northumberland. I saw it as an opportunity to do something to help in the community, while indulging my passion for riding motorbikes!
I’m a rider at the moment, although I have also completed coordinator training in the past. I also assist with fundraising where I can (and where I’m not needed for an operational shift).
“I watched a television program about the NABB, (Nationwide Association of Blood Bikes), on TV and looked up Northumbria Blood Bikes on the web, it was still early days having just launched but it was something I just had to get involved with.
“I can't remember how I first heard about Northumbria Blood Bikes. I had been trying to get involved with the service for quite a while, (feeling sure that the North East must have something similar to other areas), before eventually stumbling upon Northumbria Blood Bikes. I must have been using the wrong search engine.
