Grenadier Guards Band Bike Challenge, Colonel S Fund Charity 



The auction is CLOSED.

I write in the hope that you may be able to be of some assistance to myself and my colleagues who are embarking on a fund raising expedition for The Colonel’s Fund. The Colonel’s Fund is a new charity that will be officially launched at the end of February at the Guildhall London, which has been set up to provide help and support for members of the Grenadier Guards who have been wounded in action, and for families of Grenadier Guards who have been killed in action in Iraq and Afghanistan. His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh is the patron and Colonel of The Regiment. The four of us who are undertaking this challenge are all serving members in The Band of The Grenadier Guards; we have all served in Bosnia, Northern Ireland, all over Europe, North America and provided medical support for the ambulance strike and Gulf War of 1991. The band will be undertaking a two week concert tour of the UK in August this year with all proceeds going to The Colonel’s Fund. In October the band will be undertaking a support role in Germany for three weeks. Our proposal is that John and I, along with two of our colleagues are obtaining motorcycles with a value of no more than £500 each. Any maintenance they may need on our travels will be carried out by us. The challenge will then be to attempt to get to every venue on the UK concert tour and in Germany covering approximately 3500 miles on these bikes. So many people have told us that we will never make it all the way round. We decided to get people to sponsor us for every mile each bike covers or a flat rate, then donate all the proceeds to The Colonels Fund. We wondered whether or not you may be able to help us with Sponsorship and or Products to help us realise our goal in raising awareness and funds for the Colonel's Fund Charity. There will also be limited spaces available for advertising on the motorcycles. The Colonel’s Fund is a registered charity.
