Easter Egg Run<br />
Sunday 5th <strong>April</strong><br />
For over three decades, the Yorkhill Easter Egg Run has taken place every Easter<br />
Sunday and it’s no different for <strong>2015</strong> – this year on Sunday 5th <strong>April</strong>. We’re<br />
looking forward to welcoming thousands of motorbikes, trikes and scooters to<br />
this iconic event.<br />
The meeting point and route are still being finalised so check out the website<br />
for further information! Http://www.yorkhill.org/events/yorkhill-easter-egg-run-<br />
<strong>2015</strong><br />
There is no registration fee, but we will ask every biker to make a suggested<br />
donation of £10 on arrival.<br />
Please consider raising sponsorship rather than bringing Easter Eggs and<br />
chocolate as the hospital is always inundated with treats and many of our<br />
patients are on special diets or “nil by mouth” and can’t enjoy the eggs. Financial<br />
donations mean that we can provide specialised medical equipment and other<br />
resources essential for the care of the children at Yorkhill.<br />
If you require sponsor forms, posters or any other fundraising materials, please<br />
call our fundraising team on 0141 201 6917 or email fundraising@yorkhill.org.<br />
