Story
Thank you for visiting our fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor us online.
As potential recipients of the outstanding fundraising activities of the Help for Hero's appeal; a team of patients and staff (support riders) will be participating in the Big Battlefield Bike Ride to show their support for the appeal and help contribute to the fund raising effort. Although the team will be made of 10 riders collectively we will only have 18 legs and 17 arms!! By participating it is hoped that:
1. The team will raise a significant contribution to the Appeal.
2. Team members will test their Physical fitness, stamina and mental toughness helping in their rehabilitation journey from injury.
We will be covering 342 miiles over 5 days. Cycling from Caen to Calais, we will visit some of the many war memorials and battlefields of Brittany and Normandy. On the final day we will meet cyclists participating in the Great British Hero ride ( please see: http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/gbhr.html if you want to ride this) at Blackheath, South London and pedal to the Cenotaph. A fitting tribute to all those who lost their lives or were injured and maimed in conflicts around the world.
We have set ourselves a heady target of £23000 so please dig deep, every little will help.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Help for Heroes will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
Many thanks for your support.
