Help For Heros Charity Ride, 68mile On A Fixie

Some of you may be aware that in May 2008 I was victim of a savage assualt that left me very ill in hospital, I am still suffering the effcts now & will be for the rest of my life.

This forced me to re-evaluate my priorities & made me realise I need to be grateful for what I have I've decided to do more for those less fortuanate than myself.

To that end, this year I did a 50 mile charity ride for Cancer Research UK (pretty much forst time on a bike since the attack) and raised £250 for a worthy cause.

For my next fund raising adventure I've set myself a slightly more difficult challenge, I'm taking part in a 68mile cycle ride through the New Forest on 15th May 2011 on a single speed fixed road bike in aid of Help For Heros.

I realise this is early to start thinking about raising funds for an event during May next year & that it's close to xmas, but if any of you could see your way clear to sponsor me few quid I'd be extreamly grateful.

Thanks again to those that helped with my last event, my fund raising page is here - www.justgiving.com/markelvin

Good luck.

A worthy charity.

Nice place to ride, also.

Typo's? yes there may be, but as I cannot actually fekking see properly as a result of the injuries I feel I'm allowed them, fekking spelling Nazis.

The hidden nature of taggers on here is an age old debate. There are a lot of snide people who revel in the fact that their comments are unattributed.

you can't. you could add some rude ones of your own back though. it's what most people do. it's the forum equivalent of muttering under your breath after someone's walked out of earshot. good luck with the ride.

good luck feller..

my dream is to organise an epic ride for Help for Heroes.. as i have two family members who served in the armed forces i want to remember.

one KIA honoured
one with serious injuries decorated

it will take some organising several years probably but i want to led 12 injured soldiers from gibraltar across spain, over pyrenees, mount ventoux, french alps, alsace trench lines, ypres, dunkirk arrive in whitehall.. the route is littered with war history, so i want to make it as poignant and rewarding as possible.. hoping to discuss further with 1st and 3rd para / H A C

good luck with training... Al

you can't. You could add some rude ones of your own back though. It's what most people do. It's immature. Good luck with the ride.
