Help For Heros Charity Ride - 68miles On A Fixie

Mark Elvin

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
