The fundraiser being backed by Dave Day has managed to hit its original target of £10,000.
The event, which will see thousands of people travel from London to Barrow on their motorbikes, has been created in honour of Dave Myers, who passed away earlier this year.

On Thursday, the GoFundMe page revealed that the organisers had finally reached the initial milestone, with donations showing no signs of stopping anytime soon.
The money raised will be going to NSPCC Childline and The Institute for Cancer Research, charities which were chosen specifically by Myers' family as the best way to pay tribute to his legacy.
An online shop selling Dave Day merchandise has helped boost the donations coming in, along with ticket sales from Barrow Raiders' concert on Saturday, June 8.
