We've set ourselves a very ambitious fundraising target of £85,000 for the 2019/20 season. This includes both the amazing individual efforts of our fundraisers whose events are listed below, and the contributions from our London to Paris Cycle Challenge, and the British 10K London Run, both next summer.
Jon says, "Of course bike ride aside the best part is actually raising money for the Charities. With £1000 raised for my charity I am happy to be able to support STUBS who in turn support servicemen and women after the trauma of losing a limb.. This journey came about after a friend of mine lost his lower leg and the support; help and encouragement means he has a full and active life and has never lost his sense of humour."

Julian says, "I have recently completed Hadrians Wall, a challenge to raise awareness and funds for STUBS. I completed the journey, which is 84 miles over 3 and a half days. The weather was appalling, which made it a little tricky and I think I would have completed it in under 3 days had the rain and wind, plus chill factor not been so brutal. I may try it again next summer, walking from the west to try and better the time."

On a cold and cloudy Saturday in February this year Tanya Whittle, a Health Care Assistant at DMRC,
Headley Court working on the Neuro Rehab Unit, decided to do something challenging to support the injured patients that she nurses.
She says "I wanted to do something that took me out of my comfort zone and that was a way of raising money to support STUBS.
So I signed up with www.goskydive.com and set up a Just Giving page and managed to raise £705.
I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would recommend it to anybody thinking of doing something to support STUBS and our
injured service personnel at Headley Court.".
