Help for Heroes - Hero The Offical Help for Heroes Mascot

Hello, my name is Hero and I am the official mascot for Help for Heroes.

I used to live just a normal sort of bear life, just pottering about, not doing much apart from a little contemplating, eating, snuffling and sleeping, until one day I was asked if I would like to join Help for Heroes!

My first challenge was to join the Big Battlefield Bike Ride. It was probably the hardest thing I have ever done and I have to admit I worried that I wouldn't be up to it as I have never been known for my athletic prowess and I can bearly touch my toes. But, after months of training, I joined the team and made it!

Now that I have managed to ride a bike across France to raise money for the wounded, I am up for any challenge. I did a parachute jump with Emma and Louisa, Hero the Bear

and joined in the Rugby Challenge Match with Lawrence Dallaglio and Scott Gibbs in 2008 at Twickeham. I have taken part in all of the Big Battlefield Bike Rides since and even climbed Mount Kilimanjaro with the H4H team in 2009!

I will be doing lots of things with Help for Heroes so if you want to find out what I am up to, take a look at my H4H pages!

Thumbs Up!
