The funeral for Daley Mathison takes place tomorrow (Wednesday, 26 June) and will be a ‘celebration of his life’, according to his wife Natalie.
Daley, 27, died following a crash in the Superbike race at the Isle of Man TT on 3 June after coming off at Snugborough near Union Mills on lap three.
Fellow motorcyclists will be participating in a parade to Teesside Crematorium, meeting at his home at Bishopton Road West, Stockton at 2.30pm.
Mourners have been requested to wear ‘daisies for Daley’ in a tribute to his three-year-old daughter, Daisy.
In a post on Facebook, Natalie said: “Daley was so proud of his achievements and loved each and every single bit of support. So he would welcome anyone to join his final journey.”
Crowdfunding sites have raised almost £35,000 to help his wife and daughter pay for funeral costs.
A justgiving page has raised £395 of a £5000 target from 21 supporters, while a gofundme appeal launched on 4 June has realised £34,252 of a £40,000 target from 1316 people.
The funeral takes place at St Bede’s Chapel, Teesside Crematorium, Acklam Road, Middlesbrough, at 3pm.
