Jan’s Funeral ❤️

Morning all ❤️

For those who knew Jan but unfortunately can’t make it to the funeral, there will be a live stream available so you can still be part of the farewell.

The funeral is taking place at 1pm in Barrow, which is around a 10-hour round trip for many of us. Understandably, not everyone will be able to attend in person.

If you would like the live stream link and login details, please just drop me a message and I’ll happily send them over.

Thinking of everyone who knew and loved Jan at this difficult time. ❤️

Remembering Jan ❤️

A little over two years ago, David Jones suffered a heart attack at the Owls Nest in Llandovery. By chance, some of the ladies from Ride Like A Girl were there that day. They stayed with David and helped get him to hospital when the ambulance was expected to take eight hours to arrive, where he received life-saving treatment.

Although David initially survived his first heart attack, tragically, he suffered a fatal heart attack just a week later.

From that tragedy, Dave's Defib was born.

Founded by Ride Like A Girl CIC, the campaign was created with one simple aim: to raise funds to install and maintain defibrillators in remote locations regularly visited by bikers, helping give others the chance Dave was sadly denied.

Throughout the campaign, we were incredibly lucky to have the unwavering support of Dave’s family — none more so than his partner, Jan, who became one of our biggest cheerleaders.

Jan believed in what we were doing. She supported us, encouraged us and stood proudly behind Dave’s legacy as we worked to help save lives in his name.

Sadly, yesterday, 30th September 2026 at 5.30am, Jan passed away following a sudden illness, at the same age Dave was when we lost him two years ago.

There are simply no words for the sadness we feel at losing Jan.

We send our deepest love and condolences to Jan’s family and everyone who loved her. Her family have been such an important part of Dave’s Defib and have supported us enormously throughout this journey.

Jan, thank you for believing in us, supporting Dave’s legacy, and helping make Dave’s Defib what it is today.

We will continue to carry that legacy forward.

For Dave.
For Jan.
For the lives we may still save. ❤️

We did a thing…..❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

🏆 WE WON!!!!!!! 🏆

❤️‍🔥🏍️ RIDE LIKE A GIRL CIC 🏍️❤️‍🔥

Ride Like A Girl was born a few years ago, and in that time we have grown, evolved and established ourselves as one of the leading female motorcycling communities in Wales.

But our goal has always been about so much more than motorcycles.

We want to empower women and underrepresented groups, create opportunities for as many people as possible, and support and fundraise for local charities and causes across Wales. ❤️

Over the last 12 months, our team has worked tirelessly behind the scenes — pouring in countless hours, weeks and months into campaigns, events, fundraising and building relationships with organisations and businesses across Wales.

Earlier this year, we officially became a Community Interest Company (CIC), allowing us to take everything we do to the next level and continue pushing our agenda in a more structured, sustainable and progressive way.

And then came the news…

We were shortlisted in the top 3 Community Interest Companies at the South Wales Business Awards. 🏆

Honestly, just being shortlisted was an incredible achievement. We went along to the awards evening tonight expecting absolutely nothing other than to be proud that we had made it into the top three.

And then…

They announced Community Interest Company of the Year (CIC) 2026…

RIDE LIKE A GIRL!!!!!!! 🏆❤️‍🔥🏍️

WE WON!!!!!!! 😭🙌❤️‍🔥

We genuinely went from “we’re just happy to be here” to having to very quickly sober up because WE HAD ACTUALLY WON! 😂🥂

This award isn’t just for the people standing in that room tonight.

It’s for every single woman who has joined Ride Like A Girl.

Every person who has volunteered.

Every rep and admin team member.

Every business that has supported us.

Every charity we’ve raised money for.

Every sponsor and partner who has believed in what we’re building.

And every person who has helped us along the way.

This is YOUR award too. ❤️‍🔥

From a little idea a few years ago to Community Interest Company of the Year 2026…

What an absolutely incredible journey.

And believe us when we say…

WE’RE ONLY JUST GETTING STARTED. 🔥🏍️❤️‍🔥

Ride Like A Girl CIC — Community Interest Company of the Year 2026. 🏆

🏍️❤️ Wales Round Ribbon 2026 – Thank You! ❤️🏍️

A huge thank you to everyone who took part in the Wales Round Ribbon 2026.

This year’s event was made possible by 43 incredible volunteers across 8 locations throughout Wales, who worked tirelessly all day to create a fun, welcoming, and memorable experience for everyone involved. Your dedication and hard work do not go unnoticed, and we are truly grateful.

A special thank you to the fantastic cafés and venues that supported the event:

📍 Owls Nest, Llandovery
📍 Two Hoots, Aberystwyth
📍 Roadhouse, Abergavenny
📍 Unit 7, Llanelli
📍 Fu3l Tank, Ammanford
📍 Somerset Arms, Port Talbot
📍 Mam’s Kitchen, Aberdare
📍 Lle Tarw, Swansea

It was wonderful to see so many bikers out enjoying the day, catching up with familiar faces, and meeting new friends from across the biking community.

Most importantly, thank you for supporting Dave’s Defib. Every pound raised helps us continue our mission of supplying and installing lifesaving defibrillators at biker locations across Wales.

While the final figures are still being calculated and will be announced over the coming days, early indications show that the event has raised enough funds for at least two new defibrillators, with the possibility of funding a third unit as well.

We are incredibly grateful for every donation, no matter how big or small. As always, 100% of the funds we receive go directly towards purchasing and installing defibrillators, helping to make Wales a safer place for riders and local communities alike.

From all of us at Dave’s Defib, thank you for your support, generosity, and for being part of something that truly saves lives.

Together, we’re making a difference – one defibrillator at a time. ❤️🚑🏍️

❤️‍🔥 In Loving Memory of Loraine ❤️‍🔥

It is with immense sadness that we share the heartbreaking news that our beautiful friend, Loraine, passed away just a few hours ago on the evening of Saturday 30th May.

We are devastated by this loss. Loraine was a much-loved member and representative of our Ride Like A Girl family and worked tirelessly to support both Ride Like A Girl and Dave’s Defib. She was also a dedicated ambassador for Make Your Mark Charity, giving her time, energy and heart to causes that helped so many people.

Loraine was one of those rare people who simply couldn’t say no when someone needed help. Her kindness, generosity and unwavering support touched countless lives. Whether it was organising, volunteering, fundraising, encouraging others or simply being there when someone needed a friend, Loraine always showed up.

The world feels a little dimmer without her in it, and our community will never be quite the same. We will miss her deeply and are truly lost for words.

Our thoughts, love and deepest condolences go to her husband Graham, her two sons, and all of her family and friends during this incredibly difficult time.

Thank you, Loraine, for everything you gave to us and to so many others. Your legacy of kindness, friendship and service will never be forgotten.

Ride free, beautiful lady. 🏍️💜

Forever in our hearts. 💜🕊️
