Story

Dear friends, thank you for visiting my fundraising page and I very much appreciate your support. Please dig deep and sponsor me online for Help for Heroes. 

This is a charity which has been established to raise money for servicemen and women who have been wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan.   One of its key objectives is to raise money for the vital Headley Court tri-service rehabilitation centre near Leatherhead.

To raise money,  I have cycled as part of a group of 300, some 360 miles around the northern battlefields of France for a week starting on 26 May and then joined a convergence of cyclists to the Cenotaph in London on 1 June this year.   It has been an honour and a privilege to be able to do something to contribute to the recuperation and future of these immensely brave and unique people who have been wounded or disabled and now need our help as much as we have relied on theirs.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Help for Heroes will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Please do sponsor me

Sincere thanks

Richard
