A MUSIC concert in Ross-on-Wye on Saturday, February 24, is being held to raise funds for Help for Heroes.

The event is part of John Wrieden’s activity ahead of his attempt to cycle 986 miles from Lands’ End to John O’Groats in support of the charity this June.

John said: “This informal evening of entertaining light music will reflect my journey through the country; being as wide ranging in music as the British landscape.

“I’m currently training hard, building up the miles to ensure my bum and legs are up to cycling approximately 80 miles a day for 12 consecutive days.

“For fun you can follow my training progress on www.youtube.com/user/MrWrieden

“I am doing this epic challenge in aid of Help for Heroes, a charity very close  to my heart that supports amazing guys and girls who put their lives on the line to serve our country.

“By doing this challenge, I am doing my bit to ensure they are well looked after when they return, for the rest of their lives.

“I would like to ask everyone who comes into direct and indirect contact with me to donate just a little. Every single pound Help for Heroes receives is vital in helping the charity to support our amazing service people.”

The concert takes place at Ross Baptist Church at 7pm and tickets can be purchased on the door.
