“It went so well last year we decided to do it again so I started organising it in January,” said Steven.Some bikers opted to dress up as Easter bunnies while others attached toy rabbits to their motorcycles to spread some joy. A total of 300 Easter eggs were donated this year, which were given to both children and adults who were staying in hospital.
