Story

Hey guys and thank you so much for visiting my page!

I know many of you might be thinking that this is 'some other' fundraising event, yet let me draw you to the gravity of the feat i propose to do....

during the summer of 2012, for an enduring 45 days, me and 13 other Exeter University students will be cycling the 4,400km plus distance from london to Istanbul!  We will be aiming to  average 120km per day for the entire month and a half in the heat of summer! People think we are crazy, but it will be intense and an experience of a life time all in aid for a truely great charity.

As you can tell, this is for the charity Help for Heros, a charity that I strongly believe in and want to actively raise money for in order to support our wounded soldiers. Many of you may know that my father is in the army and is currently serving, and to me personally raising for this charity is out of a personel sign of admiration towards people like my father and his peers, and indeed the wider community of the armed forces. Not only for the personal sacrifice that many of them today make, whether that be through injury or simply being on operations, but also for some who make the ultimate sacrifice.

So, please support us and Help for Heros and spare as much money as possible!

Once angain many thanks.
