 Tom Chilton, top British Touring Car driver has shown amazing support in every event we have arranged to date. He has demonstrated his driving skills in a charity karting event last year and will be showing off his physique in June next year when he will be joining the P2F team in their kayak and cycle expedition, taking part in the entire event!  The Hoosiers are downing tools and joining us on our week-long expedition next year. After meeting some of the injured service personnel following their appearance on Al Murrays Happy Hour in 2007, the group have decided to help the team raise awareness of what we intend to do at Push to Freedom.  Leanne Grose is an inspirartion to us all. Being told at the age of 20 that she had cancer and that her leg needed to be amputated, she has come a long way in raising the awareness and abilities of people who have undergone amputations and continues to live her life to the full. On hearing about our expedition, Leanne decided to take on the entire challenge alongside the many ex military and serving personnel, knowing first hand the effects of living with an amputation can have. She continues to give emotional and practical support to all those experiencing the emotional roller-coster ride that she once took.  Callum Holland is the next big thing in British Motorsport. Apart from his intense schedule, Callum has shown his dedication to helping our troops in whichever way possible from a charity karting night (where he set the record for the circuit) but he has insisted on taking part in the entire expedition next year in the attempt to raise the awareness of what we are trying to achieve and proudly displays our logo on his racing car.  Tom Stade is a top international comedian. Over the past years, Tom has taken time from his personal schedule to perform in shows for the troops that are deployed to the likes of Iraq and Afghanistan. After working with the service personnel in these, Tom has decided to take part in our expedition next year and has agreed to perform in the event on the 17th November 2008 at the Cock Inn.  Soulful singer Meleka, has supported our injured military personnel ever since she performed at a christmas function for the troops in Surrey. She continues to dedicate time to share her talents with those in need of time out and her mellow voice soothes the soul. Meleka will be performing at the event in November which hopes to raise funds towards Push to Freedoms goal for next year.  British Super Bike rider Leon Haslam has supported our injured troops for a number of years in many ways. He has frequented the rehabilitation center in Surrey on a number of occasions and has even joined in with a military style fitness session. Leon hopes to join us on our expedition in June 2009, taking time out from his busy race schedule.  Al Murray - "The Pub Landlord", has been a quiet supporter of the work we set out to do. Al decided to offer the patients at the military rehabilitation center a bit of comic relief and gave a performance last year, taking time afterwards to chat with those in attendance. Since then, Al has welcomed the injured servicemen and women to view the behind the scenes action at recordings of his "Happy Hour" show. |
