THE BIKE RIDE IS BIG SUCCESS!
Spring arrived in time for the third HHDBA-led Bike Ride on Sunday 21st April. Lots of members rode, more were registering and marshalling so a big thank you to all of you!
It was a brilliant community event with over 900 riders and hundreds of family, friends and supporters making the Broadway one big party. The totting up has begun to see how many defibrillators can be purchased with the proceeds.
