Fundraising for Royal Signals Charity
Story
As a serving members of the Royal Corps of Signals, we would like use this event to raise funds for our charity, the Royal Signal Benevolent Fund (RSBF) so they can help others by providing help when it is needed. The RSBF is a grant-giving charity that supports serving and retired members of The Royal Signals and their dependent families who are in situations of need, hardship or distress.
Life has a habit of throwing unexpected challenges - bereavement, mobility issues, premature babies, physical, psychological and emotional difficulties - to name but a few. You never know what’s round the corner; indeed recently one of our service families had a baby boy, Thomas, born with Microcephaly Lymphedema Chorioretinal Dysplasia, an extremely rare condition. Baby Thomas has a small head, visual impairment and lower limb restrictions; the extent of his needs are not yet known. Baby Thomas’s family haven’t needed to seek help from the RSBF yet but they say it’s good to know the RSBF is there for them if needed.
As fit members of the Armed Forces, four serving soldiers have set ourselves a challenge of riding 1000 miles over 24 hours on just 2 Wattbikes (Stationary bikes) outside the Guildhall, Salisbury on Saturday-Sunday 20-21 May 2017.
You can support this event via a donation to The RSBF or by coming along to add some bonus miles, while giving much wanted encouragement to the riders.
