Donor human milk storage and gastrointestinal morbidities in preterm infants: A case-control study

The devil is in the detail.

While it might not register with many there is a blood bike group in the Ukraine.
They operate under very different and dangerous conditions.
We met up with some of the guys earlier in the year and it was a very intense experience.
All volunteers doing their bit.

Hard to believe we can’t be seen but it’s a regular occurrence.

A Reminder of Just How Vulnerable We Are on Two Wheels 🏍️

Unfortunately, today's scheduled London relay didn't quite go to plan for one of our volunteer riders.

Whilst stationary at a roundabout, our volunteer was rear-ended by another vehicle, with the driver acknowledging that they hadn't seen him. The force of the collision separated him from the bike, bringing both the journey and the relay to an abrupt halt.

After being checked out at Dorset County Hospital we are thankful to share that he sustained only minor soft-tissue injuries and will be out helmet shopping to replace the one damaged in the collision! (Remember, our volunteers provide all their own riding kit!)

As for the samples that were onboard, they unharmed and not affected by the incident and continued their journey with one of our other volunteers.

As for the BMW RT, known to many as Moose, it will remain out of service until it has been thoroughly checked over to ensure it is safe to return to operational duties.

Today's incident goes to show that regardless of the training our volunteers undertake or how visible our bikes may be, our volunteer riders, much like everyone else on two wheels, remain incredibly vulnerable on the roads and why wearing the right protective clothing is so important.

The rider also asked for us extend his thanks to everyone who stopped to offer assistance and check on him whilst he was awaiting recovery.

And please look twice for bikes when out on the road.
