Hi guys,
In June of 2010, My wife Catherine & I took part in the inaugral Help for Heroes 4x4 European Rally. It was our way of making a difference and honouring the men & women who put themselves in harms way on all our behalf. We had such a good time... that we've decided to do it all again in 2011!
The HELP FOR HEROES EUROPEAN 4x4 RALLY 2011 is a non-competative tour of europe following the path and telling the story of the Allied Invasion through Europe and includes parts fabled by the Band of Brothers book and television series.
But it's not really about history, it's about today as H4H themselves say, it's about The Blokes.
"Its about the 'blokes', our men and women of the Armed Forces. Its about Derek, a rugby player who has lost both his legs, its about Carl whose jaw is wired up so he has been drinking through a straw. Its about Richard who was handed a mobile phone as he lay on the stretcher so he could say goodbye to his wife. Its about Ben, its about Steven and Andy and Mark, its about them all. They are just blokes but they are our blokes; they are our heroes. We want to help our heroes."
And in case anyone is in any doubt, it's for The Blokettes as well. More and more of our service women are carrying out roles alongside The Blokes. Medics, drivers, pilots, female liason. They are running the very same risks and deserve a mention.
We would love you to support us by donating through our Bmycharity website, a link to it can be found on our new website www.teamskibum.com
