Story

Volunteer London licensed taxi drivers spend their spare time taking military veterans on international trips, including the Netherlands. 
I live in Oosterbeek. Every year the veterans are coming in September for the Airborne March and the commemorations in Oosterbeek and surrounding. 

Therefor on the 9th of September I will take the Thames Bridges Trek to raise , much needed, funds for Taxi Charity

About the charity

The Taxi Charity For Military Veterans (formerly known as the London Taxi Benevolent Association For War Disabled) was formed in Fulham in 1948. Its object then was to help war veterans, in their homes and hospitals, throughout London and the home counties, by providing entertainment, outings and much needed specialised equipment. Our aim now is simple: to work for the benefit, comfort and enjoyment of military veterans, to the best of our ability. For our annual Worthing outing, we now collect veterans from all over London, including the Royal Hospital Chelsea and other Veterans' Homes, as well as those who still live in their own homes. This amounts to over 300 ex-service men and women and over 130 taxis. In order to fund these outings, we seek donations from the general public and organisations, and we rely on volunteer London licensed taxi drivers to provide their taxis and time for free.
