Scaffolders Go That Extra Mile To Raise Money For Help For Heroes

A family run Kent based scaffolding  firm will be raising money for our wounded servicemen, women and veterans in the 2014 Hero Ride. 

Mercer Scaffolding are proud to announce their participation in the 2014 Hero Ride on 8th June. The signature event is hosted by the Help For Heroes charity and raises money for our wounded servicemen, women and veterans. 

The Mercer Team has organised its own 30 mile bike ride, from its yard in Longfield to the meeting point at Blackheath Common. We’d love for you to join us on this special occasion and bring your friends along. To add to the challenge and as a token of respect we’ve built a scaffold tower fixed to a bike trailer, which will be shared voluntarily between riders along the route. At the meeting point in Blackheath, over 2000 riders will come together and make their way 10 miles into Central London, after completing their own Hero Rides from different parts of the UK. To mark this occasion riders will then gather at the Cenotaph for a ceremony, before falling into formation for the finale along the Horse Guards Parade.
