Bike Tours for The Wounded
Why I'm raising money
I had a serious tractor accident 35 years ago (I was on a motorcycle), and ended up as a patient at Queen Victoria Hospital, East Grinstead (a burns and reconstructive surgery specialist NHS Trust).
I am now a Governor of the Trust, alongside my old surgeon Roger, and Terry who first told me about BT4TW as he'd ridden on a couple.
For clarity, us riders are paying our own way (I am going to be riding some of the most epic roads under the biggest skies in the Western USA!), but this fundraiser is to enable wounded Veterans to come along and ride with us for free.
I am hoping to learn much from the guys, and where I can, perhaps pay forward from some of my own experience of recovering, both physically & mentally, from life changing injuries.
Trauma is isolating, but riding motorcycles brings people together in a very special way. These tours make a heck of a difference, which ever seat you're sat on.
Thank you so much for spreading the word and for any support you can give to the guys and gals who get to think some things out under those big skies. Charlie
