H4H update.
- 9 April 2012 20:53164454Wow.
As of April 5Th 2012 Help for Heroes has made through people like you and me..........£130,336,100,59 since it started on 1st October 2007.
£129.5M has already been spent or committed and have a shopping list of another 75m.
Well done to all that have supported the cause whether a penny or a pound.
I'll be doing another event this Summer for H4H and I think next on my list will be Combat Stress.grass grows by the inches but dies by the feet. - Brian Dixon

Thank's Phil but I'm just a small cog in a massive wheel.grass grows by the inches but dies by the feet. - 10 April 2012 06:03164492Don't the Royal British Legion do a good job too ? They all raise much-needed funds for our armed forces personnel.
Roger - 10 April 2012 06:38164496You are doing a brilliant job Ian. Combat Stress is a cause that will face increased demand in future years and lets also be thankful that it is now recognised as a condition and there are people like you to help.
RBL are great too Roger. - 10 April 2012 08:42164514I love everything all of those charities do,

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

- 16 April 2012 05:32165885Yesterday we carried an H4H cycling team across from Dover to Dunkerque.
They were the Cycling 4 Heroes team cycling from Headley Court to Germany.
Very pleasant bunch of people, most had recently served in Afghanistan.
Seen here with Capt Jason Mills on the bridge of the Dover Seaways.
- 16 April 2012 07:11165894Great bunch of people and well done to them. Hope they raise lots of money on their way to Germany.
Well done DFDS.
Roger - 16 April 2012 23:10166043Yes, DFDS must have sponsored the ferry trip as the DFDS logo appears on the back of their windcheaters.
After the first group photo above, it occurred to the attractive young lady with the black hair that it might be appropriate to show the DFDS logo in the next shot so she said to the Captain: "Would you like a shot from the back?!"
Cue for general merriment as seen below....
