A woman is organising a motorcycle ride through Royal Wootton Bassett to raise money for armed forces charities.<\/p>\n
Julia Stevenson is hoping to get 10,000 bikers to take to the road for the special journey on March 18th, the News Shopper reports.<\/p>\n
With RAF Lyneham – which was the base of the UK's military air transport operations from 1967 until 2011 – closing this year, it represents the last chance for the Ride of Respect to take place.<\/p>\n
Ms Stevenson observed: "I think we need to do something for these young people because they are going to need help for the rest of their lives."<\/p>\n
This will be the third consecutive year she has held the event and so far has collected over £300,000, with ten armed forces charities benefitting from funding as a result.<\/p>\n
Ms Stevenson added in previous runs there has not been one dry eye among the bikers.<\/p>\n
