I'm raising £5000 to help a beautiful family in such a sad situation with a "Ride 4 Baz" from Southport in the UK to Mijas in Spain from 27 Sep to 6 Oct 2024.

Story
In May this year my friend Baz Fleming was told the devastating news that he had a brain tumor. A biopsy confirmed it as a stage 4 glioblastoma malignant tumor that is inoperable and terminal. Baz is now being cared for by his loving partner Kaz and daughter Jaz, but he is weakening quickly. This beautiful family only have a short time left together.
Over the last 15 years the family have dedicated their lives to giving everyone visiting the Adventure Rider Centre (ARC) in Mijas, the most amazing and memorable experiences. They have always given the friendliest of welcomes and made everyone feel like part of a bigger ARC family, meeting new friends from all over the world and all walks of life, from novices like me, to world enduro legend Graham Jarvis.
They really are the nicest people you could ever meet, nothing is ever too much. They have had to overcome some difficulties like many of us over the years, but this situation is so difficult and heartbreaking for them, that they have had to close down the ARC. The future is so sad and uncertain with their source of income now gone.
"RIDE 4 BAZ"
As one of the 46,000 bikers to take part in the amazing "Dave Day" ride for Hairy Biker Dave Myers i was inspired to do something for my own friend. I will be riding both on and offroad from their former hometown of Southport all the way down to the Adventure Rider Centre in southern Spain following the Trans Euro Trail as much as possible over 12 days.
I will be posting daily updates on facebook, giving the opportunity to follow the "Ride4Baz". If you could possibly encourage me along the way or even join me for part of the ride that really would be amazing?
When i finally arrive there on the 6th October i hope to show them how much love and compassion there is for them and give them a "big hug", from us all.
Please share and lets try to raise as much as we possibly can for this beautiful family in such a sad situation. I have set an initial target of £5k but i really hope we can keep increasing the target.
Thankyou for all your help, Graeme xxxxx
