Story

In June 2027, I’m taking on my 8th Big Battlefield Bike Ride — an incredible challenge that follows historic routes through Northern France, retracing the stories and sacrifices of those who served.

Over several days, I’ll be covering serious miles on two wheels, tackling tough terrain (and likely a few sore legs!) All in support of a cause that means a huge amount to me.

But this is about much more than a bike ride.

Every mile ridden is a chance to reflect on the bravery and resilience of our Armed Forces community — past and present — and to raise vital funds to support veterans and their families today. Many are still living with the physical and psychological impact of service, and Help for Heroes is there to provide life changing support when it’s needed most.

💛 Why it matters:

Supporting veterans recovering from injury and illness

Helping families rebuild their lives

Providing long term care, recovery, and community

This challenge will push me physically and mentally, but it’s nothing compared to the challenges faced by those we’re supporting.

👉 Please donate if you can and help me turn every mile into meaningful support for our heroes. Every donation — big or small — will make a real difference.
