I feel very privileged and blessed to be able to take part in the Big Battlefield Bike Ride 2022.  It has been missed by many veterans, this is my first BBBR and I'm hoping I can make a small difference to the lives of those who benefit from the wonderful work Help for Heroes do.  So grateful to enjoy cycling, and I'm especially looking forward to this ride as it will take us on the route of the Battle of the Somme from WW1, and my grandfather Downs saw action here, he was part of The Royal Engineers.

So if you could spare a couple of ££'s I know it will go to great use, thank you and grateful I can.

Every day, men and women have to leave their career in the Armed Forces as a result of physical or psychological wounds. Your fundraising helps them recover and get on with their lives. So far we've supported more than 25,000 people and won’t stop until every veteran gets the support they deserve.
