About Helen Whittaker

Hello! 

It's time to make a difference.  I’m on the road again cycling 333 miles in Kent from 24 May to 4 June. Whizzing up and down the lanes and hills in all weathers, making good use of the foam roller to iron out legs that just aren’t used to cycling except once a year for this fundraiser. The objective is to make a difference to children and adults supported by the work carried out by FOUR AMAZING CHARITIES .

The training, the fundraising and the challenge will be tough - I’m anticipating large doses of aches and pains, nothing compared to the challenges others face daily.  Every penny donated counts. 

Donations will be split equally between each charity. Whatever you donate goes 100% to the charities. Giftaid it if you can. Thank you.

Here is a summary of what each charity provides:

Nordoff Robbins, a music therapy charity which can help a wide range of conditions, they help children with autism to communicate, reduce anxiety for those living with dementia or provide comfort and celebrate the life of someone facing terminal illness.

Teenage Cancer Trust provides expert care and support so that teenagers don't have to face cancer alone. 7 young people are diagnosed with cancer every day in the UK. 

Childline is there to help anyone under 19 in the UK with any issue they're gong through. Childline is free, confidential and available any time, day or night.

Save The Children work globally. In the Uk they aim to narrow the gap between children in poverty & their better-off classmates. By promoting early learning, The charity helps children realise their potential. More than one quarter of England's children live in poverty. The Save The  Children programmes help give children the best start in life.

About HMT 2021: Nine Lives - Virtual Challenge

Since 2013 the Heavy Metal Truants have cycled from London to the hallowed grounds of Castle Donington and Download Festival. Open to all, our charity ride has seen metal fans, bands, and industry types getting on their bikes and raising over £800,000 in the process. 

Our chosen charities, who work so hard to support children and young people, need our support now more than ever. And so we call on all metalheads from around the world to join us in the name of heavy metal.

Between May 24th and June 6th, the weekend of Virtual Download Festival, we invite you to enter the annals of Heavy Metal Truants fame with challenges from cycling, walking, running, and many more. All proceeds will go to Teenage Cancer Trust, Childline, Nordoff Robbins and Save the Children who’ve been hit hard by these troubled times and have continued to do their work through it all.

The Challenges

If you’re a first-time adventurer or a seasoned endurance athlete, there’s a Heavy Metal Truants event made for you.
