Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">There will be group of&nbsp;12 from QinetiQ in&nbsp;Malvern cycling the 140 miles from Worth Matravers in Dorset back to Malvern to raise money for Help for Heroes. It all takes place on the 23rd and 24th May 2012 to mark the 70th anniversary of radar research being moved from Dorset to Malvern. The development of radar was one of the most significant technological developments made during World War II. The work of&nbsp;a handful of brilliant scientists and engineers back then played a pivotal role in equipping and supporting our service personnel to carry out their brave&nbsp;and vital roles.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">The ride marks an historic event and its also a&nbsp;significant one for the town of Malvern as it was the start of its association with defence technology which continues to this day.&nbsp;At QinetiQ we remain proud of the support that we provide to our Armed Forces on the front line. By undertaking this ride, we hope we can help&nbsp;improve the lives of some of our&nbsp;brave service personnel&nbsp;wounded in action. As an Ex service man myself I understand the hardship and sacrifices made by many in service of their country and would appreciate any support you could offer no matter how large or small. </span></span></p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
