DEVITT SPONSOR SERV - THE BLOOD RUNNERS
Romford, August 11, 2005 – SERV (Service
by Emergency Rider Volunteers) bikers delivering emergency supplies
of blood to hospitals can ride with peace of mind, thanks to support
from leading specialist motorcycle insurance broker, Devitt. The
Blood Runners from charity SERV deliver blood products to the emergency
and accident hospitals across Southern England at night, when official
Health Service transportation services do not operate.
Devitt is lending its support to SERV’s dedicated volunteer
motorcycle riders by arranging a year’s free full comprehensive
insurance cover for the charity’s newest recruit, a £6,000
Honda Deauville motorcycle used by SERV riders.
Martin Pretlove, Managing Director (at the time) of Devitt said they are proud
to support such an excellent service: “SERV supplies a safe,
quick and reliable service to local hospitals and doctors for the
transport of emergency blood, medical equipment, drugs and even
donor organs. “The riders are all willing volunteers who have
used their own vehicles and pay for their own petrol in order to
help others who need emergency supplies,” he said. “We
commend the fantastic service that the volunteers of SERV provide
and we hope that others will add their support and enable them to
help save more lives.”
