SOLDIER RIDE RETURN TO STATES

The Soldier Ride returned last night from France having had a fantastic trip.  They went on to Heathrow this afternoon and flew back to the States.  It was a huge success and we much enjoyed organizing the event. This photo taken on Wednesday evening in Winfield House the residence of the American Ambassador, Mr Louis Susman.  We raise money for the charity to help a  55 Year old former Gurkha Sgt with 18 years service settled in UK two years ago. He bought a bungalow and settled quickly into the community. Last year his wife was diagnosed with cancer and she died within 10 days. – He is now employed by MPGS as a security guard he is struggling financially to bring up his 2 children one of who is training to be a nurse and the other seeking to join the Gurkhas. His boiler has just expired and he cannot afford to pay for its replacement a grant of £1500 has ensured that he is able to heat the house this winter.
