In recent years, motorsport has become increasingly linked
with assisting injured military personnel and their families. Both Mission
Motorsport and Race 2 Recovery compete with the support of Help for Heroes, and
now Doodleco Motorsport has joined them in the virtual world.
Help for Heroes was set up in 2007 to provide direct,
practical support to wounded injured and sick Service personnel and their
families. To date, H4H has funded a variety of projects including the £8m
Rehabilitation Complex at Headley Court, a new £3.5m treatment centre for
Combat Stress, adaptive adventure training through the Battle Back programme
and the creation of a £6m Quick Reaction Fund to support individuals in need.
As a member of the UK Armed Services, I am keen to promote
this good cause. For this reason, Doodleco Motorsport has partnered up with H4H
with the goal of receiving donations and sponsorship to compete in the 2013
GTR24h in October. Throughout the year, we will have an online page that people
can donate directly to the team with all proceeds going to H4H. To add to this,
we will be bringing some collection tins to Denmark and some H4H wrist bands
and posters so people can give a small donation to us personally if they so
wish.
I must stress that this charity does not go towards funding
the military, it is just about helping those who need support. I ask that you
do not let personal feelings towards armed conflict prevent you from seeing the
benefits that H4H provides.
Anyone wishing to sponsor us please do so by going to this
address...
I thank you all for your support.
