PATIENTS visiting the St Barnabas House Day Hospice enjoyed the experience of a lifetime as they had the opportunity to go for a ride on a Harley Davidson.
The Hogsback Chapter, a Harley Davidson owners’ group, rode down from Guildford to visit the hospice in Worthing.
The bikers were given a warm welcome by hospice staff, volunteers and patients.
It was the fourth time that the Harley Davidsons have visited the hospice, and patients were offered the opportunity to pose for photos, sit on the motorbikes, or even go for a short ride if well enough and physically able to.
Paul Taylor, lead rider on the day, said: “It is four years now that we’ve visited. We come this time every year. Hospices have always been close to me because I lost my wife at a hospice.”
Della Heath, 45, from Sompting has been attending the Day Hospice since January and described the experience of riding a Harley Davidson as “phenomenal”.
She said: “It’s really important to have opportunities like this because it just makes you feel alive..”
