Join us on this ride to help Raeyah's Hands of Support raise the awareness of childhood cancer and Autism. How children going through cancer treatment benefit from sensory toys and equipment. How they help reduce anxiety, promote relaxation & physical, social & emotional development. They allow children to be creative, develop language, and promote cognitive development, all of which can be affected by chemotherapy treatment. Staff have only recently started to be trained in how to support and understand children with autism and they don’t always have the tools or equipment that can best support them.
Raeyah's Hands Of Support as a charity, which supports children going through cancer treatment especially those with autism (although they don’t refuse to help any child), will be providing sensory toys/equipment to the hospitals to make each day a little easier and relief some of the pressure parents may feel when trying to pack anything their child will need to help them regulate whilst they are admitted for treatment.
We will join them on the 19th of April at Bristol Royal Hospital for Children, where they will be delivering all the toys and equipment. We will help to deliver the gift bags and will say hi to the children undergoing treatment.

We are meeting up at 8:30 am at Westcountry Choppers Bristol for a debrief, coffee, and bite to eat before we head off to Millenium Square for a short stop. From there, straight to Bristol Children's Hospital.
