You will have all heard of the incredible charity Help for Heroes, set up by Bryn Parry to provide support to soldiers wounded on operations. The charity aims to build a swimming pool and gym complex at Headley Court, the Services rehabilitation centre. In the last 6 months from operations in Afghanistan, well over 100 soldiers have returned to UK with significant injuries, this is no exception and these soldiers need this support here and now. I am fortunate enough to be taking part in the Big Battlefield Bike Ride (26 May-1 June), to raise money for Help for Heroes. The ride covers some 75 miles a day through the WW1 and WW2 battlefieds in northern France. But the aim is to raise as much cash as possible in order to support this worthwhile initiative. Therefore if you feel like I do, please dig deep and sponsor me online.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: 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.
Very many thanks in anticipation! Jim
