Fresh from winning the Senior TT this weekend, Peter Hickman has brought more joy to one particular fan with a visit to Hospice.

Hickman paid a visit to Graham Whittaker who was visited by John McGuinness at the start of the fortnight.

Hospice said that Hickman and McGuinness taking some time our of their schedules to meet Graham had meant the world to him.

It said: ‘Even with taking part in the biggest motorbike race in the world, Peter still found the time to visit Graham, our avid TT fan currently residing in our in-patient unit. And he hasn’t been a quiet one for him… this year he had his fourth win of the week and his 13th career win. He also smashed his own outright lap record with a final lap speed of 136.358mph during the Superstock race.

‘Graham was in awe, meeting arguably one of the most successful riders in the motorbiking world. Hickman signed photos for Graham and even left him the hat he was wearing – it didn’t come off for the rest of the night!

‘Thank you so much from the Hospice team and from Graham and his family, to Peter Hickman for giving one of our patients so much happiness. We are lucky there are so many kind people in the world who take the time to just make others’ dreams come true’
