Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page  

Hi.

Please can I first introduce myself. My name is Mr Carl (Bear) Randell-Eyre and am an ex soldier with 23yrs of service in the REME. Since leaving the Army some nearly 9 years ago, I have kept myself active in the way of cycling for different charities over the recent years, including the London 100 twice and other similar events of that magnitude. 

Call me bonkers, but I feel its important to keep up the motivation to help those in need, forces charities and civilian alike. I myself am permanently injured, but count myself extremely lucky to be able to do what I do after seeing so many others come off a lot worse. 

I have collated a superb team together to assist me in completing a “traffic free" solo ride around the perimeter track of an airfield in Somerset for 24hrs and try to reach a target of 250 miles. I will start riding at 12pm on Saturday afternoon 28th August and finish 24hrs later on the 29th. I will be stopping every 4hrs for nutrition and bottle top ups and of course comfort breaks. 

Jordie On You is a children’s mental health charity set up by my good friend Matt Maltby, Matt’s young son Jordan tragically passed away  on Christmas Day 2017. Matt  vowed that should never happen again to any other family or child. “JOY” supports kids suffering from bereavement of a friend or family member or sufferers from mental health issues by paying for them to go on a holiday home or respite break to give them space and time to overcome their loss or just to regroup. 

I am putting every effort to make this event as successful as possible. We still have a few hurdles to get over, but our determination to succeed and raise these much needed funds for those young and disabled people in need. 

Thank you for taking time to read this message. 

Bear.
