Team fundraising for Veterans Coastal Retreats

Raising money for Veterans Coastal Retreats

Supporting the recovery and welfare of the veterans community by providing access to a venue offering rest and relaxation on the Cornish coastline.

Story

We (Ed Slack and Adi Timblo) have always been involved in sports such as running and cycling. We spoke to James Bush (WING) about raising money for his veterans charity following an assembly he gave. Being in the same house as James I have seen first hand how much this charity means to him and as a result I was deeply moved to start an initiative to play my part. I enlisted the help of Ed Slack as one of my close friends and knowing his love of cycling.

We both decided that we would set a goal of moving 4000km this Summer holiday. Either through running, cycling, rowing or swimming. We chose this number as it is the length of Europe and wanted to have a visual goal of what we could achieve by tracking where we were on the continent. We would appreciate any and all support whether monetary, through words of encouragement or spreading the word of our work. Thank you for all your help.
