About this listen

🎙️ In today’s episode of Foundation Stone, the Official Podcast of Essex Freemasonry, hosts Sam and Paul sit down with W.Bro John Westbrook — one of the organisers of the annual BMX Life’s Santa Cruise in London.


Every December, hundreds of BMX riders decked out in festive outfits take to the streets of London for the Santa Cruise, a charity cycling event that brings the joy of Christmas to life while raising vital funds for Evelina Children’s Heart Organisation (ECHO). This unique ride started as a grassroots BMX community fundraiser and has since grown into a beloved London tradition, with riders spreading cheer and support for families affected by childhood heart conditions.


In this episode, John shares the story of how the event began, what it takes to organise Santa Cruise, and how the spirit of giving and community has helped it flourish over the years. He reflects on the impact the ride has on riders, volunteers, and the children and families supported by ECHO.


Whether you’re into BMX culture, festive charity events, or simply love hearing how people come together to make a difference, this episode celebrates the heart‑warming power of fun, generosity, and fellowship on two wheels.
