[Closed] Riding for a little boy with cancer (sponsorship plea!)

@muddymickey I'd like to donate but the link is broken

Thanks for spotting - try this:

Done. Good luck to the little fella.

Thanks mate - it's much appreciated 🙂

It's working now. I hope the sun shines for you and the little lad

Cheers faerie.

Done. Good luck.

Do the family have a funding site themselves? If you post a link I'll make a donation to that as well.

Thanks Benv, much appreciated.

I never thought I'd raise beyond one or two hundred quid; as well as family/friends, the donations from this site and other MTB groups has been really heartwarming and shows what a great community mountain bikers are 🙂

Yes the family do have a GoFundMe crowdfunding page, but they're in the process of setting up a new fundraising account with charitable status - so we're holding off from adding to the existing page currently. I believe that way they can claim gift aid on donations which will help. (If you want to see the existing account, search GoFundMe for "Riley's Fund", it's organised by Sally Flint).

Anything I raise will get transferred into the new account, which I'm told should be up and running sometime next week.

Cheers

Nice one mate, thank you very much 🙂

Done

If I've got the hang of posting images, this is who we're riding for:

Thanks boabym 🙂

Done, great cause, thanks for sharing.

Thanks mate 🙂

Done!

Done too!

Done - hope all the support gives him a boost.

Thanks all - this is awesome, never thought I'd raise anywhere near as much as I have.

Hope the ride goes to plan. Maybe you should ask the moderators to pin this to the top of the forum(s) for a couple of days - might bring in a few more £ for him?

Hi all

I just wanted to say a huge thankyou to everyone who has donated so far.

Today we had 15 riders and 7 runners tackling two separate routes, with more mud than I've ever ridden through and some brutal headwinds.

Everyone completed it, and despite some punctures and mechanicals along the way, the riders managed to hunt down and catch up the runners just in time to all ride back to our village together as a group - mission accomplished.

So far I've managed to raise over £1000, and the group as a total have raised around £4300 - way, WAY beyond our expectations.

We'd like to get that to £5000.....

If anyone else would like to donate....it would be hugely appreciated (link in second post).

Good job Mickey, well done!

Well done all. I’ve added a wee bit

Thanks chaps 🙂

And, late as usual, a little something from me.

Thanks mate - don't worry it's not too late, it all helps!

Thanks for the further donations 🙂
Even through the ride is now done, I'm still collecting....any further additions would be very gratefully received.

Done. Good work!

Thanks 🙂

Great stuff & good luck Riley!

Thanks kimbers 🙂

Sorry, missed this.

Done and all the best to the little guy.

Thanks mate, and to anyone else who has donated anonymously.

Really close to my target now!

The JustGiving page closes in a few days...if anyone else want to chip in, even just a small amount, I'd be very grateful.

Cheers

Done - good luck! Hope he gets the treatment he needs.

Thanks !

Donated. Well done on the fund raising. Such a great and sobering cause.

Thanks mate.

My page closes in a few days and I'm really close to breaking my target now 🙂

Just spotted this and done. Best of luck Riley

Hi all

My JG page has now closed - a MASSIVE thankyou to everyone who donated, I never thought I'd get past a couple of hundred quid, so to finish over £1500 - much of which has come from complete strangers on here - is simply fantastic.

Thanks again, and Happy Christmas all 🙂
