BIKERS are gearing up for the third annual Easter egg run in aid of Chestnut Tree House children’s hospice.

Andy Parmenter, also known as ‘Hobbit’, runs West Sussex Bikers and has organised the run which sees motorcycle clubs from across the area come together to deliver Easter eggs to terminally ill children.

This year Andy, 46, of Exford Walk, Durrington, is hoping the convoy will reach 100 bikes in size, after participation sky-rocketed to 76 last year, up from 30 in year one.

He said: “The run was set up because, quite simply, bikers love to ride. A cause like this is a great cause for a ride, and mainly, to give a little happiness to the children, some of whom have very limited lives.
