Help for Heroes doesn't build memorials, it rebuilds lives. It's not a stuffy cause either; they're in touch with both its beneficiaries and donors, and it’s amazing to think that they've only been around since October 2007.  

We wish we could do something practical to help - but we're a bit rubbish at stuff like that.  What we can do is something which challenges us, and could possibly stimulate our families and friends to sponsor us as an act of support for our chosen cause.  So our chosen challenge is a 1650 mile 4x4 European Rally, visiting 6 countries in 10 days in June 2010 it follows the route of liberation from the training grounds of Salisbury Plain,  to the Normandy beaches, to the echoes of the horror of Dachau Concentration Camp ending up at the Eagle’s Nest, Berchtesgaden near Salzburg. This is an ace chance to combine our passion (affliction?) for Land Rovers and to show the Toyota and Mitsubishi boys how it should be done, whilst raising money for Help for Heroes.  The event will require 1st class navigation, driving skills, timekeeping and tenacity to succeed.

We're Team LRM (Land Rover Monthly),  and as an early entrant we're team 6 out of the 44 teams competing in this year's inaugural event. Our expectation is not only to finish, but with a top 5 position  in the prize-zone!  With Dominic's off road rally navigating experience and Jonathan's European off roading experience we should be in with a good chance.  Our mode of transport is a Land Rover Discovery 4, generously supplied by Land Rover themselves.

Rest assured, your sponsorship is not used to cover any costs.  We pay for the entry fee, ferry, fuel, camping fees and insurance. Your money goes to H4H.  With an event like this there are no losers though - Help for Heroes is the only winner.
