Feel very humble as I write this post. Just had a phonecall out of the blue from my main contact with 617 Sqdn in Afghanistan, Flt Sgt Paul Peden, to wish me and the other dambusters 2012 riders a safe journey when we set off for the Charity Ride to the Mohne and Sorpe Dams late on Tuesday evening!
What a fantastic surprise and what a gesture from a man who is on active service in Afghanistan and on 'nights' too, it was 1.20am over there when paul called!
Picture below is Paul, with our two Help for Heroes Teddies. If you ever meet this man shake his hand and buy him a beer - he is top quality! Thank you.
In the meantime don't let Paul and all his comrades down. Go to www.bmycharity.com/dambusters2012 and make a donation to Help for Heroes today. It is quick, dead easy and you can link Gift Aid to your donation if you are a UK tax payer. Thank you.
