In the five years since its launch ?Help for Heroes? has raised over GBP125m, every penny of which has been spent or allocated to provide direct, practical support to those members of our Armed Forces who have been wounded in the service of our country. "he Road to Recovery" chronicles the story of this inspirational charity as it became nothing short of a phenomenon - tapping into the spirit of the moment and gaining the support of the nation. Kitty Dimbleby's vibrant celebration records the complete story to date of Help for Heroes, from the initial, modest aim, of a fundraising bike ride, through to the development of the ground breaking recovery centres, five of which are being established across the UK. Fascinating, never-before-seen photographs complement the stories of wounded servicemen and women; patrons and celebrities; the charity's founders; and the countless volunteers and fundraisers who have played a crucial part in making Help for Heroes the unparalleled success it is today. Written to commemorate the fifth birthday of this extraordinary charity, this is an uplifting and inspirational read for supporters of ?Help for Heroes? and of our armed forces. Most importantly, revenue from the book will go to the charity enabling Help for Heroes to continue to stand alongside 'the blokes', the men and women of our Armed Forces, for every step along their Road to Recovery.
