More details about Project 65
Project 65 has been created to honour the memory of the men who took part in the Coup de Main operation to capture the bridges on the Caen Canal and River Orne in the early hours of D-Day 65 years ago. The bridges are nowadays known as Pegasus and Horsa Bridges. A team of fund raising volunteers will leave Tarrant Rushton Airfield on June 4th next year and run 65 miles to arrive at Pegasus Bridge to celebrate the 65th Anniversary of D-Day on June 6th 2009.
The organisers of Project 65 aim to raise £500,000, part of which will be used to erect a simple but lasting memorial to the men of the Coup de Main force and those directly associated with that operation 65 years ago. The memorial will be erected directly in front of the original bridge within the grounds of the museum which now displays the original bridge over the Orne Canal.
Most of the money raised will be divided between: The Royal British Legion, BLESMA, St Dunstan's, RAF Benevolent Fund and the Army Benevolent Fund, so that they may continue to help the disabled and wounded men and women of today's Armed Forces.
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT + HOPE TO SEE MANY OF YOU IN JUNE......Rob
