Thanks for visiting my help for heroes, Band of Brothers Bike Ride, fundraising page.
Having spent the autumn in Helmand Province I feel like I'd like to do my little bit to help our injured service personnel.
It was very sobering to witness the MERT Chinook regularly bringing wounded soldiers to the hospital in Bastion and even more so to hear about the devastating injuries that the troops had suffered. We often hear on the news about those killed in action, but hardly ever about the details of those injured. Headly Court is populated with young service men and women who have sustained dreadful life changing injuries, many having lost multiple limbs.
Alex Cunningham (a TA colleague) and myself are going to join the help for heroes ride from Cherbourg to Paris and hopefully raise enough money to do our small bit for a very worthy cause.
