A Southside finance company raised over £2200 for Yorkhill Children’s Hospital with a charity motorbike ride from Cathcart to Oban.

Over 170 motorbike enthusiasts turned up at Glasgow Financial Services (GFS) Cathcart office on July 30 to ride to Oban, where the participants enjoyed a barbeque. A further 80 motorbikes joined the run at The Green Welly Stop in Tyndrum, bringing the total to more than 250 riders. GFS donated £15 per biker to the hospital.

Sid Khan, GFS Business Development Manager, said, ‘It was a fantastic response. The generosity of the bikers goes to show they don’t always deserve their bad image. It was such a big success that we will definitely do it again next year.’

GFS hope to make the event annual and attract 500 riders next year.
