Thanks for visiting the Coast to Coast fundraising page.
The Armed Forces Memorial is the first national memorial dedicated to the men and women of the United Kingdom Armed Forces (Regular and Reserve) killed on duty or as an act of terrorist action since the Second World War.
The stone circle bears the names of 16,000 service personnel who have died since 1945. There is room for 15,000 more names to be carved on the Portland stone walls of the memorial.
Earlier this year the National Memorial Arboretum requested help with regards to transportation around the 150 acre site. Many of the thousands of visitors who call to pay their respects are unable to freely wander around the site due to age or grief.
Nine members from the golfing community, centred around Burhill Golf and Leisure, have joined forces with the aim to raise £20k to purchase four 6 seater Club Car transportation vehicles which can be used by the National Memorial Arboretum. They are planning to complete a sponsored cycle along the arduous 150 mile Coast to Coast route from Whitehaven to Tynemouth between Friday 15th and Sunday 17th August 2008.
We are asking for your kind support to reach our team target of £20k. With your help we can make a significant contribution to the National Memorial Arboretum.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The National Memorial Arboretum gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
So please sponsor me and the team now! Thank you!
