3 Musketeers in Tesco`s Tidworth

Well actually it was four, we have our very own `DArtagnan` better known as Major Pete Martin. Pete is now riding with us on LEJOG, he is a very welcome addition to the team. After a slight glitch with double booking at Salisbury, a few hasty phone calls & `U` turns later, Neil was first to start peddling at 10:15 at Tesco`s Tidworth, followed by Alex, Myself & then Pete. Toni was our helper, clad in her bright yellow Starlight T shirt, she became our secret weapon ! Yet again the wonderful people of Tidworth proved to us that they are exactly that..WONDERFUL.
People of all age groups donated, young children putting pennies in the pot, pensioners giving & expressing their gratitude to the servicemen & women who serve this country. They helped us raise an amazing £795.42.  The generosity of the public is inspirational, thank you all for your support. As a foot note, we covered a little over 100 miles in just over 4 hours 30 minutes, although we all felt a little tired on this one. Our next promotional event is at Tesco`s Salsbury Wilts SP1 2NY on Tuesday 15 Feb 11, starting at 10am. If you are in the area, please feel free to pop by & have a chat.
