About the charity : Army Benevolent Fund Army Benevolent Fund
The Army Benevolent Fund is the Army's national charity. Since the end of the Second World War, it has been supporting soldiers, former soldiers and their families in times of real need. Today, more than ever, it needs to raise funds to give a 'hand-up' rather than a 'hand-out' to those who need it most.

Personal message:

Thank you for visiting the Henry Tudor Ride's fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor the ride online.

In July 2008 Major General Evelyn Webb-Carter and the historian Professor Richard Holmes will lead a horse ride across England and Wales to raise donations for the ABF. They will ride in period costume to retrace the historic route taken by Henry Tudor in 1485, in his successful attempt to wrest the crown from the "usurper" King Richard III.

Events are planned all along the route, which will take the team via Cardigan, Newton, Shrewsbury and Cannock Chase. To celebrate their arrival in Bosworth Field, Professor Richard Holmes will give a battlefield tour.

All donations will go towards the Army Benevolent Fund's Current Operations Fund, supporting soldiers injured or families of those killed during Service in current operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor the ride: Army Benevolent Fund 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.

So please sponsor the Henry Tudor Ride now!

Many thanks for your support.
