Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am riding with many other ex soldiers 331 miles to Arnhem via France, Belgium and the Netherlands to commemorate the Battle of the Bridges of September 1944. The ride will be over 5 days and will cover an average of 65 miles a day.

Whilst this is not an overly arduous challenge it is more about raising funds for the vital work of the ABF The Soldiers Charity who stand at the forefront of support for the army family. 

https://soldierscharity.org/abf-the-soldiers-charity/what-we-do/

The ABF supports soldiers as well as their families in times of need. We are all too fully aware of the courage of our soldiers and the sacrifices they and their families have made.

In order for your donations to make their way effectively to the charity I will be paying my own way - you will not be funding me having fun :)!! 

Thank you for considering this hugely worthwhile and valuable cause and please help me smash the fundraising target!
