The Heavy Metal Truants are cycling the 161 miles from London to Donington to raise much needed funds for Children’s Charities, with all proceeds being split equally between Nordoff Robbins, Teenage Cancer Trust and Childline.

Founders Iron Maiden Manager Rod Smallwood and Metal Hammer Editor Alex Milas will be joined by Metal fans, band members, media, managers, agents, record labels and music industry heavyweights united by a love of heavy metal and a desire to raise money for kids who need some help. The gruelling 3 day ride begins at Alexandra Palace on June 12 and arrives lunchtime on June 14  for the start of the magnificent Metal Weekend that is Download Festival. We do hope that you will support us generously. For more information on the Charities and the Ride go to www.heavymetaltruants.com.

This page is to collect donations from generous Metal fans connecting from links from our HM Truants page and others and 100% of all donations go directly to Nordoff Robbins for equal distribution between our 3 charities. However if you wish to make a donation specifically via one of our team in support of that friend or colleague please do so on their personal justgiving page on our team page, as linked below from this page.

Please give generously!
