Spiceroads And Royal British Legion

[dingerbel]

Hi all,

Spiceroads and the Royal British Legion have teamed up for the Poppy Appeal and the RBL's 90th Birthday celebrations.

The Royal British Legion is 90 Years old this year and to celebrate this special time a small group of members (a band of brothers, if you will) from the Thailand Branch (Bangkok) will set off from Bangkok, by bicycle, to arrive in Phuket in only 8 days. This is a total distance of 855km/539m raising money along the way for The Royal British Legion and the Thai War Veterans Organisation.

The Royal British Legion

The RBL provides welfare to the whole Armed Forces family - serving, ex-Service people and their dependants. We also campaign on a range of issues affecting Service people, are the custodian of Remembrance, run the annual Poppy Appeal and are one of the UK's largest Membership organisations

Who we help

We help serving and ex-Service personnel and their families. Not just those who fought in the two World Wars, but also those involved in the many conflicts since 1945 and those still fighting today.

The Thai War Veterans Organisation

The WVO, help injured Men, Women and their families who are in need of assistance within the communities of Thailand. They provide medical care from the Royal Thai Veterans Hospital in Viphavadhi, Bangkok and other welfare issues for Thailand's ex-servicemen all over the country.

We also have some other fantastic sponsors already for the event including, Landrover, Topps supermarket, Starwood Alliance Hotel group and The Crossbar.

But we need more, If would like to help us achieve our goal of getting to Phuket by bike, then please contact us on the 'contact' page on our Website www.spiceroads-rbl-bigpush.com, all support will be gratefully received. Alternatively if you would just like to make a donation, please see the 'donation' page on the same website and use the account details there.

Lest we forget!

you can visit the website at www.spiceroads-rbl-bigpush.com or even join our group on Facebook, twitter(dingerbel) or even Linked in.

We really just need money sponsors now as all the logistics have been taken care of, if you wish to sponsor a rider, you can choose the one you wish by viewing us all on the website, contact us and then make your pledge of 1THB per mile if you like. Just in case your wondering thats 539THB, you could do per KM and that would be 855THB, up to you, but anything you can afford to give to a fantastic pair of charities will be much appreciated and very well spent.

Thanks, oh and if anyone wishes to join the Royal British Legion then contact me at [email protected]

The Big Push, sponsored by Spiceroads in aid of the Royal British Legion Poppy appeal is only one month away. If anyone would like to sponsor a rider for this great event, that is hoping to raise 500,000 baht, which will be some much needed funds for the RBL and Thai war vets. Please contact me on 0846415202 or email [email protected] and I will be happy to help.

Anyone who sponsors more than 500 baht will be invited to the 'Push off' at the Royal Orchid Sheraton on the 20th of October between 8am and 10am, and the RBL 'The Big Push' survivors party at the Crossbar on Sukhumvit 23, 19th of November starting at 7pm!

Get supporting the Legion,

Many Thanks
