As you may know recently our good friend Dave Hart (Royal Marine) recently passed away whilst on duty in Afghanistan.

Dave was serving as part of Combined Force Sangin and was killed in an explosion while on foot patrol in the Sangin District of Helmand Province.

He passed out for duty as a Royal Marines Commando on 16 October 2009, when he was awarded The Commando Medal.

The Commando Medal is awarded to the man who, throughout training, shows, to an outstanding degree, the qualities of the Commando Spirit. These are defined as: Determination, Courage, Cheerfulness and Unselfishness.

For those who did not have the pleasure of knowing Dave, this definintion sums him up perfectly.

It is with this in mind that we are attempting to complete the Coast to Coast challenge on the weekend commencing 01/10/2010.

The challenge entails a 140 mile bike ride from the West Coast of Cumbria to the North East coast and includes varying routes along the way.

Although none of us will be able to reproduce the courage and determination shown by Dave, not just in Afghanistan but throughout his entire life we are hoping Daves achievements can inspire us to complete the trip and make him proud.

We are trying to raise as much money as possible for the 'Help for Heroes' charity in honour of Dave in the hope that we can give something back to the brave members of the armed forces who have been wounded in the service of their country.

Please give as generously as you possibly can and pass this onto anyone you think may like to contribute.

We will be looking to update this page in the build up and during the challenge its with photos/videos so keep checking for these.

If you would like anymore info on the 'help for heroes' charity or on the C2C challenge itself please see the links below:
