BIKERS from Warrington paid a special two-wheeled charity tribute to a former member in aid of St Roccos.
The BFA Motorcycle Club raised £800 for the hospice in memory of keen biker Eric Jones, who died suddenly from cancer last year.
Club member Brian Connolly said: "We wanted to do something for his family and thought the best way was to raise money for charity."
The money was raised through an auction of motorcycle parts, raffles and collecting tins. Members from all over the country also contributed to the cause.
"It was really nice to receive support from other clubs in places like the North East and Birmingham," said Brian.
St Roccos will be spending the money on furnishing a room at their new hospice.
