Help For Heroes, Audley Court Shropshire. PTSD

[markarie76]

Good Morning,
i want to raise money for the above cause, does anyone have any ideas on a Solo ride out from the UK TO where ever to raise money? something challenging and if possible not done before, i am a ex veteran so not wet behind the ears so am willing to give anything a go with a realistic chance.
also sponsorship ideas for the challenge? Half of the money raised will go to Audley court Shropshire who specialize in PTSD, They have helped me out so much post Iraq and i want to give something back as they are a charity and depend on donations.
I welcome any ideas and am looking at a 2 week event,
Thanks,
Mark.

Just thinking out loud...... Bangor to Baghdad ?  How safe is Irag now a days to ride through ? You should look at the press and TV. Contact a few overlanders that have written books ect who may be able to give you tips.

cheers Spud
