Mrs Goulding told the newspaper the family were "deeply touched" by the club's decision to support the charity.
"I am very excited about going on the bike ride. I thought I'd do it for a laugh and I'm quite interested in bikes anyway. Abigail is also looking forward to it," she commented.
The Triangle Motorcycle Club's charity secretary said when Abigail sat on a motorbike "the smile on her face was amazing".
According to the newspaper, the bikers will be travelling 50 miles on Sunday August 31st, bike insurance customers may be interested to know.
Climb aims to provide support to the thousands of families in the UK who are affected by metabolic diseases and to provide funding for research.
