Story

firstly thank you for taking time out to visit this page:

Our Aim:

Is to raise as much awarenes and money for the charity very close to our hearts which is HELP FOR HEROES.

Whats happening:

Exercise Taurus 09 is an amphibious exercise taking us around the Mediteranian, through the Suez Canal and out to the Far East to Finish up with an exercise deep in the jungles of Brunei.  On the way myself and a few other members of 4 ASSAULT SQUADRN ROYAL MARINES plan to complete 5 challenges, these are to cycle the circumference of MALTA & Gozo (110 miles), race HMS Bulwark on Concept rowing machines through the Suez (120 miles), Bench press the total weight of HMS Bulwark by as many repitions as it takes, race HMS Bulwark back through the Suez on static bikes, the Sprint up the Rock of Gibralter on Bikes on the way home (426m climb).

Any donation is gratefully recieved and please spread the word about this event and the charity

Our kindest thanks - a few good men
