Wirral Egg Run 2007
The Wirral Egg run is a charity event which takes place every year attracting bikers from all over the country and even from continental Europe.
The 2007 event sets out to raise money for the Jelly Bean appeal which is seeking to raise money for children on the Wirral and has four areas that it is addressing which take the form of wishes.
Wish one: a Children’s Assessment and Treatment services (CATs) a friendly place for sick children.
Wish two: Extra equipment for premature and sick newborn babies on the Neonatal Unit - because it is one of the most difficult times of their lives.
Wish Three: rooms for families with sick children - because it’s so hard to have a child in hospital.
Wish Four: a one-stop Assessment Centre at the Child Development Centre because special children need special facilities.
The 2006 unofficial egg run raised £5000 which was wholly donated to the Jelly Bean appeal and helped them reach target one. The 2007 event aims to improve considerably on the monies donated to the Jelly Bean appeal by raising the profile and by gaining approval of the relevant authorities which by its nature will provide greater public awareness and deliver the channels by which donations may be collected.
This years Egg Run was officially recognised and traffic management was lead by the police this time round! I've been on the Egg Run for a few years now and I have never seen so many people taking part and lining the streets in support of the run. The weather was fantastic for the day and, from what i saw, the run went without a hitch.
I was involved in marshalling the event. It was the role of the mashalls to assist the police with traffic control, keep an eye on riders taking part and to be a point of contact for anyone needing assistance even if that was just pointing out where the toilets were!
I work on behalf of Unilever who donated some home and personal care products. I sold them to friends and family, raising £110. I've also put up a donations form in the canteen which has around £60 on so far!
Here are some photos from the event..
Thanks to everyone who has donated money to the Appeal and to Unilever for Donating the products which raised even more money! I'll try to get a bike count and a total for the money raised on the day and post it on here...
