RMT Motorcycle Training in Redditch is revving up behind a man’s mission to raise thousands of pounds for Help for Heroes (H4H), the charity which supports wounded servicemen and women.

Will Moore, from Guilford, a former member of the armed forces, is attempting to ride his motorbike from London to Johannesberg in aid of the cause.

It will see him riding across two continents, 19 countries, mountain ranges and deserts.

Simon Hayes, owner of RMT, said: “Someone who works for us, and is also ex-military, knows Will, and told us about this amazing challenge so we are supporting him as much as we can, and we hope other people will do the same.”

Mr Moore said: “Our brave service personnel serve our country with such professionalism, pride, dedication and determination. I need the Great British public to get behind my challenge.”
