After years of debate and dithering, I have FINALLY bitten the bullet and joined forces with on their 270km annual charity ride from London to in August 🤘🏼🚲
Here's a bit about what they do and the charities we'll be supporting, in their own words:
"Heavy Metal Truants were founded in 2013 by Iron Maiden manager Rod Smallwood and Metal Hammer editor Alexander Milas. The organisation united metalheads, artists, and industry types under the common banner of raising money for charities that support children and young people.
The idea’s caught on, and we’re proud to say that thanks to the many, many people who’ve joined us over the years and enormous support from artists and the music industry we have now raised over £1.5 million for Teenage Cancer Trust, Nordoff & Robbins, Childline, and more recently Save The Children".
That's some pretty good going isn't it 👌🏼🤘🏼👏🏼
If anyone would like to help me on my way to my fundraising target of £1,200, I would be eternally grateful. The link to donate is in my bio. Share far and wide and if you know any businesses that would like to get involved, let me know!
Ps. All ride & festival costs are covered by me, so all money donated goes direct to the above charities 🤘🏼
