Help For Heroes Round Britain Ride

Post by paulw » Thu Apr 15, 2010 4:23 pm

Round Britain the hard way is what we are calling it.
We are raising money for the Help For Heroes appeal.
Starting in Whitby on the 13th of May we will be riding approx 3500 miles in an anticlockwise direction right round the coast of Great Britain,taking a total of ten days.There will be four of us all riding c90s with a back up van just in case of breakdowns both mechanically and mentally.This event will be funded totally by ourselves no money that we raise will be spent on running this event.
So cutting to the chase i have set up a group on facebook (its all new to me) so that you can join the group,follow us online and hopefully donate a little money for our wounded service men and women.
Here is the facebook group http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id= ... 188&ref=mf
There are details on there of how to donate online,the money goes direct to the Charity.
The donation site is http://www.justgiving.com/paul-wharrick

But please join our group and spread the word to your friends and if you can find it in your heart to donate a little money that would be just great.
Words of encouragement would be most welcomed.
Thanks
Paul.
