CALLING ALL RIDERS – We need your support

This year the Wharncliffe Chase Ride organised by West Riding Endurance GB is running a class in aid of the Yorkshire Air Ambulance

 

The Ride is on the 6th & 7th June and has classes ranging from 27k (17miles) to

100k (62miles) over two days. The routes use disused railway lines, forest trails, bridleways and quiet roads. 

 

The venue is easy to get to as its just north of Sheffield and 15 minutes from the M1.

 

Riders can also support the Air Ambulance in their fund raising by bringing any bras they no longer need to any West Riding Ride and putting them in the pink bra box!

 

 

Our resident West Riding Poet ,Val Swann, has this to say:

 

To the BRAvery of the Air Ambulance

 

LADIES - Another country needs you

They are there to support you

They won’t let you down

They wrap themselves round you

In country or town

 

You can always count on them

Wherever you are

No, not the Air Medics

But your trusty old bra

 

In countries far distant

The ladies cries heed

For gravity’s winning

Our garments they need

 

Donate them to charity

And you will be blessed

And feel good at the giving

Though a little undressed

 

When service discontinues

And its stuffed in your drawer

Give it to the Air ambulance

For a new life once more.

 

 


Bra campaign gets even more support!

Our campaign aims to collect any unused bras, which in return are re-packed & shipped to West Africa where they are sold on to licensed West African traders where there is a much greater need for them.

By collecting a minimum of 200,000 bras, the Yorkshire Air Ambulance will receive a minimum of £10,000!
