Help for Heroes

‘Hello, my name is Hero and I am the official mascot of 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 was worried if I was up to it as I have never been known for my athletic prowess and I could 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 am in training for a parachute jump with Emma and Louisa on the 8th Sept and might even attempt the commando assault course in October and see if I can win the Green Beret! First though, Hero the Bear

I am limbering up for the Rugby Challenge Match with Lawrence Dallaglio and Scott Gibbs on the 20th September at Twickeham which will be amazing.. I‘ve already got the shirt!

I will be doing lots of things with Help for Heroes so if you want to find out what I am up to, read this page!

Thumbs Up!
