A press release from Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton has praised the work of Freewheelers. Our volunteer rider Dave Watson, who works as operations manager for Illchester Cheese, was recently asked to transport bone marrow samples from the children's ward at Musgrove Park to the Bristol Royal Children's Hospital. The samples were for leukaemia patient Jacob Hayes. Our riders rarely get to see the human side of our work. It is nice when we can see that our work is directly helping a patient and the thanks we received from Jacob's parents and the staff at Musgrove park are a very welcome morale boost to all our volunteers.
