We have taken our “adapt and overcome” mentality that the
military has given us and applied it to this new environment.
Couple this with the huge support we have received from the
general public, it was the general public that nominated True
Heroes Racing for a Sun newspaper Military Award “Millie”
in December 2014, where ever we have gone has enabled us to
grow and expand year after year since we formed.
SiP: What do you believe could be some of the biggest
challenges you may face in the next 5 years?
PS: The biggest challenges True Heroes Racing will face in the
next 5 years will come from our desire to continue to expand
and be able to offer more opportunities for injured UK Service
personnel to get directly involved in what the team is doing.
We’ve almost reached a crossroads where running the team is
becoming a full time job, yet the team has no premises with its
key members spread all over the UK.
Currently all funding received through sponsorship and donations
are used to directly fund the team’s activities on the track, with no
one drawing a wage packet or even getting their expenses refunded.
As we’ve expanded year on year we’re always looking for the next
pound to enable us to continue to grow the team. This in itself will
prove to be a huge challenge as raising funds and gaining further
new sponsors proves more and more difficult every year.
