Midlands Air Ambulance Charity would like to thank everyone who supported this year’s Bike4Life Ride Out and Festival for helping to raise over £118,000 for the charity’s lifesaving emergency service.

The 13th annual Bike4Life event saw 3,000 motorbikes head along the M54 motorway in a spectacular 26-mile Ride Out from Meole Brace in Shrewsbury to Weston Park in Shifnal.

The six-figure sum raised will go on to fund 36 air ambulance and 40 critical care car missions thanks to the incredible support from event attendees and the nationwide biker community.

The charity is also announcing that its next Bike4Life Ride Out and Festival is returning in 2026 – it will take place on Sunday 17 May 2026. More details will be announced in due course, but people are encouraged to mark the date in their calendars now for another unforgettable day in support of Midlands Air Ambulance Charity.

In the last year, Midlands Air Ambulance Charity has carried out 129 missions involving seriously injured bikers, which works out to an average of more than two per week. With biker safety in mind, the charity has developed its First Biker on Scene course. The course is for anyone who could be in the position to where they need to provide immediate support to an injured biker before the emergency services arrive.  You can find out more and book a place on the course by visiting midlandsairambulance.com.
