Briggo At Cardiff

[willstaxi]

After watching Sky tonight and seeing Briggo saying that he is only likely to raise in THE RIDE £60k of the £120k he had hoped for the ex-riders in wheelchairs, it made me think that with Cardiff coming in 12 days with 40,000 people of which 30,000+ will be British why not lets all give at least £2 to this fantastic cause at the gate or collection points around the stadium, of course it would be up to Briggo and his team to arrange this.

 

What an opportunity to support the legend that is Barry Briggs and the victims of this fantastic and sometimes cruel sport of ours, so:-

 

ONE LESS PINT AT CARDIFF £2 FOR BRIGGO

What do others think?

I am left wondering why no one has thought of this. With the utmost respect, the idea is so simple it is positively brilliant!

Don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities to donate to the ride when Briggo appears at Cardiff.

Briggo will be collecting in person outside the turnstiles with a good number of helpers to give everyone the chance to put their money in the bucket.

Throughout the day, we will also have a stand in the Fan Zone area which is in St Mary Street (one road away from the Stadium) where you should be able to meet Briggo and make donations.

 

We will certainly be promoting it and there are many ways to contribute through a number of initiatives - Such as, sending £5 by text (text BRIGGO to 70700) or visiting his website www.briggo.net where you can send any amount of money by PayPal or Credit card. - If you can afford a little more, and like a gamble, why not invest in one of Briggo's Bike Shares? They cost £100 and offer an entry to the limited (200 shares) draw to win Briggo's Yamaha - a 2010 WR250R machine. The "shares" are a great souvenir too, being a limited edition, hand-signed, numbered and personalised picture certificate (check out Briggo's Blog in Speedway Star)

 

We have been in contact with all UK clubs, inviting riders to donate one point of their earnings to the Ride and we have even contacted referees - suppliers - sponsors - and many fans, directly, with a view to supporting us.

 

 

Cardiff is supposed to be the ride finale, so please get behind the legend that is Barry Briggs and help him to reach his target - I can assure you that he is completely focused on this task. It has taken a huge toll on the great man and he has sacrificed several months of his "normal" life to make this a success.

 

A huge thanks goes to all those who have helped him along the way and to those generous enough to donate already - Now lets finish it off in style at the UK's night of nights.

 

Incedentally - Barry is dissapointed that he has had to miss visiting every track, purely through geography and fixture clashes, but he is still planning to "mop up" some additional visits after the ride with appearances already arranged at Rye House and Lakeside plus the Museum at Paradise Park. Others are hoped to follow.

 

I love the concept of one less pint and two more pounds! - All I can say now is.. GIVE.. GIVE.. GIVE.. and show the world that our community really cares for it's fallen heroes.

 

Thanks for reading - MMX
