Andrew joined Northumbria Blood Bikes as a volunteer following his youngest son’s open heart surgery 8 years ago. During the operation his son received a significant blood transfusion which was made possible through the support of Northumbria Blood Bikes. 

Andrew’s reason for volunteering with our charity was featured on BBC One’s Morning Live on Thursday 6th March.

Chad joined Northumbria Blood Bikes when he found myself sitting in NSECH hospital, in Cramlington, for end of life care with his Dad. Every evening he heard motorbikes pulling up below the window, outside the Pathology lab entrance. He found out that it was Northumbria Blood Bikes delivering notes.

Ria joined Northumbria Blood Bikes as a volunteer following an accident in 2013 and received blood transfusions which began at the roadside with The Great North Air Ambulance Service. She found out in 2014 that it was Northumbria Blood Bikes who delivered the blood to the hospital and to the air ambulance. She decided to volunteer once she was in a more stable position. Her last blood transfusion was in 2018 when she had her leg amputated.

Our team at Northumbria Blood Bikes are all incredibly excited to watch BBC One tomorrow morning at 9:30am.
