Story
.This September, eleven hardy veterans and myself will be undertaking a unique cycling challenge to raise money for The Not Forgotten. From 17 to 23 September, the team – including amputees, those with visual impairment, mental injury and trauma including PTSD from their time in the forces – will be pushing through a gruelling 400-mile cross-country cycle challenge – the ‘Tour de Not Forgotten’. Their route, designed for us by our expert partners Bikecation, forms roughly the shape of The Not Forgotten’s elephant’s head logo… from the grave of our founder, Marta Cunningham, in West Ealing, London; calling in to greet veterans and supporters at Portsmouth, Poole, Taunton, Bristol and Hereford; and finally finishing after 7 days at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire.Supported by Bikecation, the team will tackle up to 95 miles each day over 6 days, an inspirational test of physical and mental endurance, pushing personal boundaries and raising money at the same time for The Not Forgotten.
