A Halton
testicular cancer charity will be holding its sixth annual Dream Day scooter
rally and family day this weekend.
The Mark
Gorry Foundation (MGF) will join forces with scooter clubs around the North
West on Sunday, June 28, from noon to 6pm at The Parklands Sports And Social
Club in Widnes.
An
estimated 200 scooters are set to ride in from across the region to join the
now-famous convoy through Widnes to the social club.
The ride
out has been organised by Widnes Scooter Club’s Freddie Moran who has been a
real driving force behind the event by helping to cement the scooter scene
within Halton.
In
addition to the scooter rally, a number of bands from the area will be playing
ska tunes with music from Mad Hat Ska, Indigo Violet and The Sundowners.
The
charity was founded by Widnesian Mark Gorry in 2009, who eventually lost his
fight against the illness.
More than
£4,000 has been raised by the charity through previous Dream Days.
A charity
spokeswoman said: “Helping to continue with this real community feel, there
will also be performances from long-term favourites The Hotsteppers who have
danced in previous years, as well as a celebratory performance from the cast of
The Victoria Music Company’s Our House which has just completed a successful
run at The Brindley.”
Wristbands
costing £4 can be purchased on the day for children’s activities including face
painting, bouncy castles, garden games and special appearances from some
popular characters.
A tombola,
raffle and official MGF merchandise will also be available on the day, with a
host of local stalls also joining the team.
The
Parklands staff will be catering for the event, providing a range of food
including burgers, hotdogs and a hog roast.
