Over 4 days at the end of June 2026, I have committed to cycle over 250 miles in Belgium and France to help raise funds for Help For Heroes.

The Big Battlefield Bike Ride will visit WW1 battlefields and wargraves including Ypres and The Somme. Training rides didn't start too well, coming off my mountain bike at the end of January!

I would be extremely grateful if you could raid your piggy banks or dip in to your pocket money and support me in this fantastic cause. I have self funded the cost of the trip so every penny raised will go straight to Help for Heroes.

Help for Heroes help veterans and their families face their toughest battles yet - painful injuries, mental trauma, disability and isolation.

Their life-changing services support them with physical and mental health care, to help with welfare and medical needs.

Your generous donations ensure they get this specialist support for life.
