Hundreds of bikers join Glasgow charity Easter Egg Run
They set off from Glasgow Green, heading to the Royal Children's Hospital
More than 900 bikers from across Scotland gathered in Glasgow on Easter Sunday to take part in the annual Easter Egg Run, in aid of the Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity.
They set off from Glasgow Green in the morning, dressed in the Easter finest, before heading along Broomielaw, over the Squinty Bridge, and towards the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, where they were greeted by children and their families.
This year marked a return to the hospital for the parade, which has been gathering at Braehead for the last few years.
The charity’s Douglas Samson told Clyde 1 it’s good to be back at the hospital, so more children can appreciate the parade.
He said: “It brings an activity to the hospital, it gives them a distraction, it’s something fun, it’s something memorable.”
This year was the 46th annual ride through Glasgow, with hundreds of bikers taking part.
Chief Executive of Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity Kirsten Watson said: “The Easter Egg Run is a highlight of the year for so many of the children in hospital.
“For nearly five decades now, it’s been a shining example of the generosity and spirit of Scotland’s biking community.
“We’re so thankful to everyone who took part and helped bring smiles, laughter and a little bit of magic to the hospital this Easter.”
Each person taking part donates to the charity, helping to raise money for equipment and support services for young patients.
