Our personal message:

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

Hello, I am SAC(T) Jon-allan Butterworth and I am currently serving in the Royal Air Force as a weapons technician.  I lost my left arm in Iraq on the 4th of August 2007 where I was involved in a rocket attack on Basra Air Station.  As part of my ongoing rehabilitation and because I am also an injured servicemen, I am doing the Big Battlefield Bike Ride.

I am going to be part of the DMRC Headley Court cycling team, 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 fundraising 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 miles 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.

My personal contribution to the overall target of £23000 is £2000, so please help me to reach my target and give generously.  Please give in the knowledge that you are helping many injured servicemen and women, that have come back from conflict zones around the world.  I have already reached my first £2000 target, I have been overwhelmed with donations that I have now doubled the amount I originally set out to achieve.  Now that I have reached the £4000 target I am increasing it ever so slightly, I know there are more donations to come and would like to raise as much as possible for the charity.


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.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
