The Defence Infrastructure Organisation’s support for the Veterans’ Foundation is stepping up a gear with a #DIOGivingBack four-day charity cycle around scenic and historically significant Normandy.
Led by DIO’s Chief Executive, Mike Green, a team of representatives from DIO and its suppliers will pedal up to 100km (c62 miles) per day across the terrain that was home to the D-Day landings.
Earlier this year, DIO and suppliers joined in the international commemoration of D-Day’s 80th anniversary. To continue the ongoing recognition of all our brave Service Personnel, riders will cycle between historic D-Day sites, reflect on the sacrifices of our fallen heroes, and raise vital funds for today’s veterans and their families.
The team committed to making a difference through #DIOGivingBack contains representatives from:
DIO
Amey
Arcadis
Aspire Defence
Balfour Beatty
Kier
Reds10
VIVO Defence Services
Wates
The four-day event will take place in September and training for our cyclists is well underway. We’re asking everyone to support our efforts, share our page and give, if you can. Every donation will help the Veterans’ Foundation to continue providing grants to charities that support veterans and their families – making a real difference to the lives of those who have sacrificed so much for us.
* Charities pay a small fee for our service. Find out how much it is and what we do for it.
