Since beginning in 2012, Blood Bikes East have performed over 11,000 runs of urgent medical samples and supplies. And all for free.
"No one gets paid for any of the services they provide," says Paddy Crawford, Chairman of Blood Bikes East. "It's just a way that we can all give back to our community."
The charity has six high spec motorbikes on call outside working hours to make crucial deliveries (primarily blood samples but also all manner of other medical supplies ) either between or to hospitals in the greater Dublin area.
Over the Christmas to New Year period in 2016 they did over a hundred and fifty callouts - and that was 24/7 cover for the whole period.
