THE BAND OF BROTHERS BIKE RIDE

Dear friends

Thanks for visiting our fundraising page. We are trying to raise as much money as we can for this very worthwhile charity. If you can find it in your hearts to sponsor us, we will be VERY grateful. We realise that it is hard during a credit crunch to dig deep. Help for Heroes is about our blokes, our men and women of the Armed Forces. Its about Derek, a rugby player who has lost both legs, its about Carl whose jaw is wired up so he has to drink through a straw. Its about Richard who was handed a mobile phone as he lay on a stretcher so he could say goodbye to his wife. It's about Ben, its about Steven and Andy and Mark, its about them all .They are just blokes but they are our blokes, they are our heroes. We want to Help our Heroes.

The Band of Brothers Bike Ride is setting off to France in May, in time to link with the Allies' liberation of France in 1945. We will cross from Portsmouth to Cherbourg and ride along the Normandy invasion beaches to Pegasus Bridge before turning south west to Villers Bocage, then to Falais and then on to Paris. We will ride up the Champs Elysse and lay a wreath at the Arc de Triomphe.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Help for Heroes 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 us now!

Lots of Love Gill and Geoff
