Hello.
This is real, it has been verified by the Make A Wish Foundation and BMF. It’s happening tomorrow. If you can be there, it would be appreciated.

This is from Rachel at the BMF:

FRIDAY 21st DECEMBER -

Hello everybody, hope you are all well. Please excuse the BMF for contacting you this way, especially if you ticked the “no” box, but we felt that this was a slightly different circumstance and I am sure you will understand.

We have been approached by The Make a Wish Foundation (MaWF). This is an organisation that asks terminally ill children what they would wish for and then tries to deliver.

They have been asked by Jack, a six year old, if he could have some motorcycles ride past his bedroom window. He can not go out and is unlikely to see in the New Year. The BMF has been asked to help.

Although Jack lives in Slough, I have used the email addresses of all individual members in Slough and affiliate clubs in regions 5 and 6, together with the emails I have for National and One Make clubs. I realise that many of you may live too far away to be able to take part in this venture but you may have friends or colleagues living nearer, who are willing to go and support Jack and his family.

The MaWF have said that they will buy Jack some Christmas presents for the motorcyclists to deliver and so all the BMF has been asked to provide are the riders/bikes.

West London Harley are involved and we are liaising with them.

The BMF Chairman, Anna Zee, will be taking part, together with as many volunteers as we can muster.

The ride will meet at The Farnham Pump on the Farnham Rd, Farnham Royal, Slough, Berkshire, SL2 3AS (This is the A355) on Friday 21st December at 4.30pm. Fancy dress will bring an added smile if anyone can muster something up at this late stage.

With best wishes

Give the Boy a few loud revs from me! :wink:

16

Yeah I will be heading out on the A4, can meet you somewhere, how about the Hammersmith Apollo at 3:15 for a 3:30pm leave? I think the traffic might be mental, so have to allow for a bit extra. Have PM’ed you my mobile number.

17

I’m in

18

Wish I could make this but only just seen it… at work. If I had know I would have chosen a different mode of transport.

Hang in there kid, two bike riding power rangers will be there to make your christmas wishes come true (nice one E and Smiled :stuck_out_tongue: ) and to all the others who get there.

19

Anybody heading to this please bear in mind that the traffic is gonna be bonkers this afternoon. BBC reckons it’s gonna peak about 3pm, so allow a little extra time to get there.

20

Elad, you pm’ed me with details but you forgot your number…lol

i’ll be at the apollo at 3.30, traffics gonna be bad
