Dave Day was launched following Myers' death in 2024 and quickly became one of the UK's biggest charity motorcycle gatherings.

Friends, volunteers and supporters have continued working tirelessly to ensure the annual ride remains a fitting celebration. Donations have continued to arrive from individuals inspired by the kindness and generosity that Myers represented.
The latest fundraising success comes as organisers prepare for what has been described as the final large scale Dave Day ride. Despite financial challenges surrounding the event, supporters have remained determined to make the farewell gathering one of the biggest yet. Thousands of motorcyclists are expected to take part in another powerful tribute to the television favourite.
Dave Myers became a household name alongside fellow Hairy Biker Si King through their popular television cooking programmes. Since his passing, fans have continued to celebrate not only his love of food and motorcycles but also his warmth, humour and generosity. The £50,000 fundraising milestone reflects the affection still felt for him across Britain.
Supporters hope the campaign will continue attracting donations while keeping Dave Myers' memory alive for years to come. Organisers have thanked everyone who has contributed, volunteered or taken part in the charity rides. They say every donation helps continue the causes that meant so much to the much loved television star. The latest total stands as another reminder of the extraordinary impact Dave had on communities across the country.
