Gentlemen, look after your THIRD NUT!🥜 Prostate cancer often has no early symptoms, so awareness is key.

👀✅ Common signs to watch for:
- Poor urine flow
- Blood in urine
- Pain when passing urine
- Passing urine more often, day or night

If you’re concerned, speak to your GP.

😊 What a wonderful way to round off a busy day! 🏍️🎶
After the wonderful day at Y Faenol yesterday, Sioned H and Paul K rounded off the evening by giving a presentation to Llangefni Rotary and Cor Bara Brith, who entertained us superbly.

All donations from the evening were in aid of Blood Bikes Wales, for which we are extremely grateful. ❤️

Not only that, we were treated to refreshments during the interval and again at the end of the recital – a warm welcome and fantastic hospitality throughout!

There was even a queue of ladies waiting to sit on our motorbike, Dwynwen, to have their photograph taken – proving that our bikes are just as popular off duty as they are on the road! 📸🏍️

A huge thank you to Sue Gillett, who organised the whole affair exceptionally well and made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish.

It was a lovely evening filled with music, laughter and support for Blood Bikes Wales. Thank you to everyone involved.

😊 What a fantastic and eventful day at Y Faenol with the Automobile Club of North Wales! 🏍️🚗

It’s been a pleasure for Blood Bikes Wales to be part of this wonderful event for many years, and we’ve watched it grow from strength to strength.

An impromptu presentation to members of the Jaguar XK Car Club (NW) was very well received, and we are delighted to remain one of the club’s charities of choice. Thank you for your continued support – it means a great deal to all of us. ❤️

The day also took an unexpected turn when Darren responded to a medical incident in his professional capacity. Thankfully, the situation had a positive outcome, demonstrating once again how volunteers and professionals alike step forward when needed most. 👏

Aside from this, it was a great day chatting with members of the public and admiring the wonderful vehicles on display.

A huge thank you to Paul K, Darren L and Geraint S for joining us, and for bringing along the duty bike during the afternoon. Your support is greatly appreciated. 👍

🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️ Today, two of our members took part in the Cheltenham 10K wearing their Blood Bikes Wales sports tops and helping to raise awareness of who we are and what we do. 🚑🏍️💙

It’s always fantastic to see our volunteers supporting the charity both on and off the bikes, and we’re incredibly grateful for their efforts.

We’ve been supplied with a “before” and an “after” photo… 🤔🤣

Now, not wishing to comment on how fit they looked before and after the race, we’ll leave you to make up your own minds! 😉

Whatever your verdict, we’re immensely proud of them both for flying the Blood Bikes Wales flag with pride and completing the challenge. Well done! 👏💙

💙 A Huge Thank You to Cllr Dot Jones 💙
Last Saturday, we were delighted to receive an incredible donation from the outgoing Chair of Carmarthenshire County Council, Cllr Dot Jones, who chose Blood Bikes Wales as her Charity of the Year.
Throughout her year in office, Cllr Jones worked tirelessly to raise funds and awareness for our charity, and we are absolutely thrilled to announce that her efforts have resulted in an astounding total of£3,601.00 being donated to support our work.
As a charity that is entirely volunteer-run and receives no government funding, donations like this make a real difference. They help us keep our motorcycles on the road, fuel in the tanks, and our free service to the NHS operating 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Cllr Jones for her support, dedication and commitment throughout the year, as well as to everyone across Carmarthenshire who contributed to this fantastic fundraising effort.
Pictured are Cllr Dot Jones alongside Stephen from our West Area team and Ian, who brought along the Carmarthenshire duty bike for the presentation.
From all of us at Blood Bikes Wales – thank you for helping us continue to deliver vital services to hospitals and patients across Wales. 🚑🏍️💙

💙 What a fantastic evening! 💙

Last night, Fishguard Ladies Circle did us proud by dedicating the proceeds of their Curry, Quiz & Raffle Night to Blood Bikes Wales. 🚑🏍️

We were made incredibly welcome at Tregroes Pantry. Andy brought the NC along and spent some time chatting with people outside before heading off to finish his shift. The rest of us enjoyed a delicious meal and plenty of laughs during the quiz… and true to form, we managed to maintain our record of coming last! 🤣 We were even presented with the Wooden Spoon! 🥄

After the quiz, we were thrilled to be presented with an amazing £300 from the evening’s fundraising. But the surprises didn’t end there… just as we were about to leave, we were told that an anonymous donor had generously doubled the amount to £600! 😲

Add to that a £20 donation in the bucket via Andy, and by the end of a thoroughly enjoyable evening, B*W funds were up by a fantastic £620! 🎉

A huge thank you to Fishguard Ladies Circle, the team at Tregroes Pantry, our anonymous donor, and everyone who supported the event. Your generosity and kindness are truly appreciated and help us continue providing our free out-of-hours courier service to the NHS across Wales. 🫶

Thank you all for your incredible support. 💙

🏍️💙 Random Acts of Kindness Mean So Much 💙🏍️

Yesterday, whilst carrying out a run to Cardigan Integrated Care Centre, Pembrokeshire rider Richard Humphries stopped at the Murco garage in Eglwyswrw to refuel one of our Blood Bikes Wales motorcycles.

In a wonderful and unexpected gesture, the very kind and generous staff decided to put £10 worth of fuel into the bike’s tank free of charge.

It may seem like a small act, but these random acts of kindness make a huge difference and remind us just how much support there is for the work our volunteers do across Wales.

A huge thank you to everyone at the Murco garage in Eglwyswrw for your generosity and support. It is very much appreciated by all of us at Blood Bikes Wales. 🙏💙

Every mile we ride in support of the NHS is made possible by the kindness of people like you.

A Huge Thank You! 🚨

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Dyfed and Iori of Caratec Cymru, who kindly serviced our North West Area PR trailer yesterday completely free of charge.

This generous gesture of support for Blood Bikes Wales is very much appreciated and helps us continue providing our vital service to the NHS and communities across Wales.

The support we receive from local businesses and individuals makes a real difference, and we are extremely grateful for their kindness and generosity.

Thank you, Dyfed and Iori, for helping to keep us on the road and supporting our volunteers. 💚🏍️

As for the photo… despite our best efforts to showcase the freshly serviced trailer, somehow a Blood Bike managed to park itself in front of it! 🤣
