Help for Heroes 4x4 European Rally 2012 presents £192,341.12 cheque

The award winning Help for Heroes 4x4 European Rally has presented a cheque to Help for Heroes for £192,341.12, the sum raised by the 2012 event. This brings the overall amount raised by the rally since 2010 to £474,072! (£522,783 including Gift Aid!).

"I have nothing
but praise for the efforts of the 42 crews that took part in the 2012 challenge and for the Great British public's generosity in supporting the Help for Heroes charity. £192,000 is a truly awesome sum. It is also poignant that this year's rally was won by a serving soldier who will soon be deployed to Afghanistan," said Tim Price-Bowen, one of the organisers.

Application can now be made to take part in the 2013 event which will take place from June 15-27. The rally will follow the path and tell the story of the 1944/5 Allied Invasion through Europe. The Allied Forces landed in France early on D-Day morning – June 6, 1944. The Help for Heroes 4x4 European Rally 2013 retraces much of that route.

Starting from Littlecote House Hotel, Wiltshire, it will be a 2,000+ mile adventure through Europe over 12 days. This non-speed touring assembly of 4x4s will be crewed by serving and ex-military personnel, as well as civilians and families with children. It is part military history tour (including museums etc) plus some fun activities, part off-road driving and part club-type social, and open to road-legal 4x4 vehicles.
