Why I have chosen the ABF The Soldiers’ Charity?
They give a lifetime of support to soldiers and veterans from the British Army, and their immediate families, when they are in need. They make grants to individuals through their Regiments and Corps and support a wide range of specialist charities that sustain the British Army ‘family’, both at home and around the world, making a difference at a critical point in peoples’ lives.
They have been doing this since 1944, working with veterans of every conflict, and will continue to do so for all future generations of our soldiers and their dependents.
Some of you will already know that I have done a a similar event for another well known military charity cycling from Edinburgh to Windsor.
It was one of the best experiences I ever had.
Whether you agree with the politics of the world wide conflicts we often
find ourselves involved with, you have to be thankful for the sacrifice our
Service Men & Woman make in the line of duty. They gave their yesterday for our tomorrow.
