and Fundraising Events raised £3,800 for Martin House Children's Hospice and £200 of that came from the sale of resources from this site and from donations sent in. A huge thank you to all who asked for their donations to be used for Martin House.
On Easter Sunday (March 23rd 2008) my husband's group of bikers braved the sleet and snow to complete their annual Charity Easter Egg Run and raised £3,800 for Martin House Children's Hospice at Boston Spa. Their Charity Rides are in memory of Stephen Cowton the son of Fran, one of the bikers who has organised these charity rides since 2000.
In past years, when the weather has been kind, there have been up to 100 motorbikes on the Easter Egg Run. This year only a hardened few braved the sleet and snow to ride out with a van full of Easter Eggs and a pocket full of cheques. Sadly the weather had an affect on the amount of money raised but, no one fell off along the way on the slippy roads and the children weren't disappointed!!
