This page is for general donations where kind souls can make a donation to the Heavy Metal Truants but if anyone wishes to contribute to the efforts of a particular rider to encourage them then please click on "VIEW FUNDRAISING LEADERBOARD". Of course all donations end up in the same place - helping kids who need it via our charities.
We have also been asked by his family to accept donations here in memory of our great friend MIKE WEATHERLEY - a massive Maiden and Metal fan amongst many other tremendous accomplishments in a very well lived life. Mike sadly passed away last week and will be hugely missed. We are very proud and pleased to do this of course so if you are donating in this way kindly just put simply TO MIKE with your message.
