A Bratton cyclist is going to tackle a 450 km ride to raise money for Help for Heroes (H4H).

Evan Fuery is planning to make his way from St Foy in the Alps to Nice and aims to collect enough cash for a hydrotherapy wing at Tedworth House, This is Wiltshire reports.

It promises to be an arduous task, as there will be 27,500ft of climbing – the equivalent of Mount Everest.

"Our combined efforts will help provide a much-needed facility for our recovering heroes," Mr Fuery said.

He has also organised a talk that will take place at All Hallows School in Cranmore featuring two people who have remarkable stories to tell.

Among those appearing at the event are Mark Langridge – who was part of the 2011 Scott-Amundsen Centenary Race.

Sundeep Dhillon is also going to be speaking and he is the youngest person in the world to climb the highest peaks in seven continents.
