On the night of 16-17 May 1943, the RAF's 617 Squadron carried out an audacious bombing raid attacking dams serving the Ruhr valley, leaving German factories and mines badly damaged, helping to turn the outcome of the war in favour of the Allied Forces.

Please help me to commemorate the 80th anniversary of this daring raid by sponsoring my 100 mile cycle ride to raise much needed funds for this great cause. Thank you for any support you can give.
