National association for Bikers with a Disability (N.A.B.D.)National association for Bikers with a Disability (N.A.B.D.)

Everyone who has ever ridden a motorcycle will know it's a unique form of transport that makes travelling a pleasure, so much so that the journey often becomes more important than the destination.

The NABD believe that everyone who wishes too should have the freedom to partake of that enjoyment, regardless of physical problems. All that is needed is the will to succeed, with that and the help of the NABD; the freedom to ride is there for everyone.

The will to succeed comes from within and may only need a little encouragement but adaptations can be rather expensive, that’s where the NABD helps, with grants ranging from £300 to £1200, as each adaptation is tailor made to suit both rider and bike.

Each fundraising challenge will not only be a lifetime adventure but it will also help someone’s dreams come true, something that is beyond value.
