Mother's Day Ride in aid of Afghan Heroes Charity

message from Behind Bars Motorcycles of Kennilworth

Thousands of bikers from throughout the country are planning a spectacular mass ride through Wootton Bassett in Wiltshire on Mothers Day to honour soldiers who have lost their lives in Afghanistan. More than 1,000 riders are expected to ride through the Wiltshire town on Sunday March 14 and then gather on the runway at RAF Lyneham. There they will hand over funds raised for the Afghan Heroes charity set up last September by a group of mothers who lost their sons in Afghanistan.

The bikers will descend on Wiltshire from throughout the UK and gather at the Leigh Delamere services on the M4 (Junction 17 - eastbound) before the mass ride through Wootton Bassett to RAF Lyneham at 12 noon where the fallen are repatriated into the UK. Each rider will pay £5 (on the day) and receive a special commemorative Afghan Heroes wristband, which will be their entry pass to the RAF base. All proceeds raised from the ride will go to the Afghan Heroes charity, which helps our service personnel in theatre, families of the fallen and our returning troops.

'Behind Bars Motorcycles' will be riding down to this event from Kenilworth or the Coventry area, if you wish to join us please contact Andy Spencer at the shop on 01926 855541, email sales@behind-bars.co.uk or through our website www.behind-bars.co.uk.
