once again, sean is riding across france for the help for heroes uk charity. last year, he had literally the WORST bike of anyone (a chinese piece of crap that outweighed every other bike there) and did amazingly well. this year he's going to try and find a better bike so he doesn't get teased incessantly by the maintenance/bike storage guys at every stop...
anyway, if anyone is interested in supporting sean, here's a copy of the email he just sent me... one british pound (as of this moment) is equal to one dollar and thirty-nine cents, which is really good considering the last few years...
Greetings,
That time again. I am contacting friends, family, and colleagues to ask for sponsorship of an upcoming fundraiser bike ride for the UK’s Help for Heroes charity. The ride consists of biking over 400 miles during 5 days across the northern France (From Normandy to Paris). The Help for Heroes charity works to provide practical direct support to those UK servicemen and women wounded in the line of duty in the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. After the fantastic experience of participating in last year’s H4H Battlefield Bike Ride, where we raised over £10,000, we have decided to enter another Dell team in this year’s event.
Dell has already provided assistance to the Help for Heroes Charity in the form of Dell PC's to assist in the running of the Charity and we are now delighted to be involved in the Band of Brothers Bike ride. Our team is made up of Dell staff who are involved in the Defence marketplace in the UK and EMEA and we see this as our chance to offer something back to those UK Military personnel who have served their country so well. The Dell team members are: Sean Berg, Kerion Holyome, Jeff Van Horn, Nigel Leaney and Paul Heath.
Dell will match £1 for £1 the sponsorship we are able to raise as a team so if we meet our fundraising target of £10,000 we will be able to give £20,000 to the Charity.
