Story

Unfortunately due to Covid-19, both the 2020 and 2021 rides had to be cancelled, meaning huge losses in fundraising for Help for Heroes. I will now be joining the Big Battlefield Bike Ride 2022 instead and continuing my training and fundraising. All donations to this page will now go to support this event instead.

The event will still see me cycle around 350 miles but now from Nieuwpoort down the whole British sector of the Western Front of the Great War. From the North Sea Coast through the beautiful Belgian Flanders, French Flanders and Picardy countryside down to Compiegne where the Armistice was signed; visiting the main British battlefields of 1914-18 in chronological order to relay both the scale of the campaign and the sacrifice.

I want to thank you for choosing to support this amazing cause that helps to support our veterans, service personnel and their families through potentially some of the hardest moments of their lives.

I wanted to join the military when I was younger but my health would not allow it, so this is my way of giving back to those that give so much every day.

Imagine your life changing overnight. Suddenly, the world you knew is not accessible. You must start from scratch, all over again.This is happening right now.Every day, seven people leave the Armed Forces with life changing injuries. Many struggle, meaning they and their families need specialist help to aid recovery from wounds both visible and hidden. Your donation allows Help for Heroes to continue providing vital support, now and in the future.

Thank you again ❤️
