The Help for Heroes Banger Run is organised by Royal Air Force personnel inbetween their primary duties and detachments. It’s an annual European driving event which is gaining more and more interest each year and raises much needed funds for the Help for Heroes charity who support British Forces personnel who have been injured when on Operations in Afghanistan and other hostile environments.

This year will see a team from our station, RAF Boulmer, drive a car costing no more than £250 from the UK into France and stopping at James Bond filming locations in Chantilly, Zurich, the Furka Pass, Lake Como, Turin and finishing up in Monaco. It is open to anybody who wants to get involved. Due to the nature of the Help for Heroes charity, the majority of teams are military but the general public may enter too.

Each team needs to raise a minimum of £200 for the charity. The cost of the vehicle, fuel, insurance, tax, breakdown cover etc. will be paid for by sponsors hopefully, failing that we will share the cost between team members. Needless to say every penny you donate goes directly to H4H so remember to tick giftaid if you are a UK tax payer.

Thanks for reading this, please dig deep and donate now!

We are in need of a corporate sponsor - if your company can help please get in touch. Similarly, If you know of any friends or family that can sponsor the team's car or can supply a vehicle then let let us know.
