💥 What a Day at Bike4Life 2025! 💥

From the roar of 3,00+ bikes to the cheers of our incredible supporters, yesterday was unforgettable. We want to say a huge thank you to every single person who joined us for this year’s Bike4Life Ride Out & Festival.

A lot of you took a chance on the weather, the forecast wasn’t looking great, but you still showed up to support us, and we truly appreciate it. We’re so glad the rain held off just enough for everyone to enjoy the festival and make the most of an amazing day! 🌤️

🏍️ Your attendance doesn’t just make the day amazing, it directly funds Midlands Air Ambulance Charity’s lifesaving missions. Every bike, ticket, t-shirt, and donation helps keep our helicopters in the sky and our critical care cars on the road.

🚨 Without you, none of this would be possible. Midlands Air Ambulance Charity receives no Government funding for our daily missions – we are entirely funded by people like you.

Thank yout to the Bike Insurer who have sponsed this event again. Their support makes this event happen!

🙏 A BIG thank you to our:
Passionate volunteers and dedicated staff
Supportive stallholders and exhibitors
Amazing event partners
And of course, our brilliant VIP guests including:

🏍️ Carl Fogarty
🏁 James Whitham
🎤 Steve Parrish
🏆 Dougie Lampkin
🏍️ Chloe Jones
🚨 The stars of TV’s Emergency Bikers

All of whom helped raise the profile of our vital emergency service across the Midlands.

📊 We’ll be announcing the total fundraising figure very soon and we can’t wait to share the incredible impact you’ve had.

❤️ This was our 13th Bike4Life event... and we’re already counting down to the 14th! Your support year after year means the world to us.

From the whole team at Midlands Air Ambulance Charity, thank you for helping us continue saving lives by air ambulance and critical care car.
