OPERATION LONG ROAD
Total Raised: £30000
Message From RAF Lossiemouth Station Commander
Operation LONG ROAD is a 3181-mile endurance cycle across the entire continental United States in order to raise money for the “Help for Heroes” charity.
In May 2009 the Operation LONG ROAD team intend to depart from Santa Monica Pier California and ride an average of 91-miles a day for 40 days, finishing at Ground Zero New York City, New York.
The team comprises of 2 cyclists, Warrant Officer Nick Styles and I, plus 3 support staff, Mr Roy Hunte the team physio, PC Peter Taylor, driver and administration, Mr Andrew Jones team mechanic.
Why would you do this? Now that is simple, for the Help for Heroes charity. This charity was founded to support casualties of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. As a British casualty myself the care for our casualties is a subject very dear to my heart.
A great man once stood up in our nation’s darkest hour and said something that I think is as relevant today as it was then.
“Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.”
Sir Winston Churchill.
Thank you
