Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Help for Heroes gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

The Warwickshire Wideboys (Adrian Collins and Steve Yambo) are going to drive 3700 miles in a Citroen ZX from Plymouth to Banjul in the Gambia. We set off on Jan. 10th and hope to get to our destination on Jan 30th, once there our car will be auctioned to support charities in the Gambia. We also want to raise funds for a cause that is very close to our hearts, Help for Heroes.

We have chosen this charity because Steve's dad was in the RAF for 22 years and Adrian spent 7 years in the British Army, serving with units like the 2nd Battalion Parachute Regiment and 5 Airbourne Brigade Log Bn. This battle group has suffered huge loses this year therefore it's a charity that is deserving of our support.

All in all H4H has raised £12.8 million and continues to raise as much money as possible for this worthwhile cause. With the help and support from the likes of Jeremy Clarkson, Simon Cowells (X Factor), The Sun, The Princes and many more this charity looks set to grow and grow. We hope that you share our views and donate generously to this fantastic organisation. 

100% of the money raised will go to the charity itself. We are paying for the whole trip out of our own pocket.
