Charity bike ride raises vital funds for Scarborough lifeboat
The Leeds Arms in Scarborough and the Marauding Riders completed a charity bike ride in aid of Scarborough Lifeboat and Motoneurons Disease.
The Marauding Riders cycled the 50 miles from Acaster Malbis to Scarborough lifeboat station raising £725.50 in aid of the RNLI.
The crew of Scarborough Lifeboat Station would like to personally 'thank' all involved for their incredible efforts and for raising vital funds allowing them to continue to save lives at sea.
‘These funds will go towards our continued effort in keeping people safe from the dangers of the sea. Donations help pay for lifesaving equipment, training, the day to day running of the station and much more. It’s charitable donations like this that keep the RNLI doing what it does best – saving lives at sea’, said RNLI Coxswain, Lee Marton.
The RNLI's volunteer lifeboat crews provide a 24-hour rescue service in the UK and Ireland, and the seasonal lifeguards look after people on busy beaches.
