Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In the summer of 2012 I, along with 13 other Exeter University Students, will be putting our bodies to the test and cycling across the entire continent of Europe in order to raise money to support the phenomenal work of Help for Heroes.

We will be travelling from London to Istanbul, a distance of over 4,400km in 45 days, averaging 120km per day. That's roughly 200 metres for every pound the team hopes to raise. We will be cycling through the heat of summer, across the Alps and through some incredible countries. 

Please, support us and Help for Heroes by donating as much as you can. Every penny given on this page will go straight into this charity which does incredible work to help those injured in service of their country.
