Planned Event:

JUMP FOR HEROES

I'm hosting FIVE charity skydiving events across the UK whilst banging out a 1,000 mile marathon bike ride from John o'Groats to Lands End. I've organised these events to raise £10,000 and awareness for Help for Heroes.
My goal is to encourage others to do their bit for those who have done theirs.
ANYONE CAN JOIN IN by doing a sponsored JUMP FOR HEROES tandem jump, or qualified skydivers can organise a team for competition.

Planned Event: As a member of the Royal Marine Reserves, I have a number of friends who have been on deployment and come back unscathed, however, a lot of their mates have not. As a result, I would like to do something for them. In addtion, my mate has just come back from serving with 2 Para in Afghanistan and he is organising a John O'Groats to Lands End cycle in aid of the charity. So I would like to organise a ceilidh to fundraise for H4H and for my mate's event too. I work in a nightclub and have a number of contacts in the entertainment industry so a lot of strings are being pulled for this to happen.

The cause is for all our injured brothers within the Royal Marines and Armed Forces but in particular our friend and brother SGT "Baz" Barrett who was recently injured serving with 45 CDO in Afganistan. God Bless them all and please donate generously. This small 600 mile ride is a minor effort in comparison to the everyday efforts that our troops put in on a daily basis.
