Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

"Our aim is to walk the beaches of Normandy from Caen to Cherbourg from the British d-day beach of sword to the American d-day beach of Utah. We are doing this for much needed help and support for our brave services men and women wounded in the ongoing war ultimately in support of Help For Heroes.

Help for Heroes (H4H) was founded by Bryn and Emma Parry after a profoundly moving visit to Selly Oak Hospital in the summer of 2007. Bryn and Emma met some extraordinarily brave young people who had been badly wounded and they just wanted to do something to help.

ultimately It’s about the blokes, our men and women of the Armed Forces. It’s about Derek, a rugby player who has lost both his legs, it’s about Carl whose jaw is wired up so he has been drinking through a straw. It’s about Richard who was handed a mobile phone as he lay on the stretcher so he could say goodbye to his wife. It’s about Ben, it’s about Steven and Andy and Mark, it’s about them all.

They are just blokes but they are our blokes our soldiers and they are our heroes."
