Brain Injury Claims
Personal Injury Liverpool
A CONVOY of more than 300 motorbikes will set off from the city on September 3 to raise cash for victims of spinal and brain injuries.
The ride is in aid of Neurosupport, one of few charities specialising in the field in the world.
The bikers will leave from St George’s plateau and head to the Horse Shoe pass in North Wales to raise money for the appeal, which will become an annual event.
Riverside MP Louise Ellman and city Lord Mayor Cllr Frank Prendergast are supporting the bid.
Alec Hughes, from Neurosupport, said: “We are the only charity of our type in the country and one of very few in the world.
“We’ve been going 20 years now, and from our point of view, being bikers, we thought the best way to raise our profile was with a bike ride.
“We support people who have neurological conditions, like brain and spinal injuries, which are pretty common in the biking world.
“We also support their carers and families.
“It’s impossible to say exactly how many people will come on the ride but we’re expecting around 300.
“We’ve been limited to 1,000 on St George’s plateau for health and safety reasons. It should be an impressive spectacle to see them all set off.”
Lord Mayor Cllr Prendergast added: “I’m delighted to help support such an important charity as this.
“I hope a many people as possible take part and raise huge amounts of money.”
