URGENT UPDATE: Members of the Born To Lose Motorcycle Club in Inverness are gearing up for an extraordinary charity event that will see them push a staggering 225kg (35 stone) motorcycle over a distance of 5.5 miles to raise funds for the local charity Safe Strong & Free. The event is scheduled for November 30 and promises to be both a test of strength and a powerful statement of community spirit.
The charity bike push will take place along the scenic route from Inverness to Dochgarroch, with all proceeds aimed at supporting the vital work of Safe Strong & Free, which focuses on empowering children and young people against abuse and assault. This initiative not only highlights the challenges faced by vulnerable groups but also showcases the strong commitment of the motorcycle community to make a difference.
Club member James Macleod emphasized the camaraderie and team spirit that drives the club’s mission. “The bike push itself is a fairly simple concept, but it becomes a significant bonding experience for us. It’s about coming together as a community,” he stated. With participants aged between 18 and 60, the club exemplifies a blend of backgrounds united by a shared passion for motorcycles and community engagement.
The task ahead is no small feat. The motorcycle, weighing approximately 225kg, poses a considerable challenge, particularly with the unpredictable Scottish weather looming on the horizon. “I’m sure we can rely on the Scottish weather to make it that extra bit challenging,” Macleod remarked, hinting at the determination and resilience required for this endeavor.
This charity initiative not only highlights the strength of community bonds but also addresses an urgent issue that affects many young people across the Highlands. Safe Strong & Free is dedicated to creating safe environments where children can thrive, and events like this bike push are crucial in raising awareness and funds for their cause.
As the date approaches, community members and supporters are encouraged to engage with the initiative, whether through participation, sponsorship, or simply spreading the word. The Born To Lose Motorcycle Club’s commitment to this cause exemplifies the power of local organizations in making a real difference.
Stay tuned for more updates as the event draws closer, and consider supporting this cause that aims to uplift and protect the most vulnerable in our society. This is not just a bike push; it’s a message of hope and solidarity. Share this story and help amplify the voices working to keep our children safe.
