Here at Sport in Profile Magazine we’ve avidly followed
the unique story of True Heroes Racing for several years
now and we thought it was time to recap their story and
give you the latest update ...
True
Heroes
Racing
(www.
TrueHeroesRacing.co.uk) is the UK’s
first and only motorcycle race team for
Wounded, Injured and Sick (WIS) UK
Service personnel and Veterans.
Formed in 2012 by a serving Royal
Navy Warrant Officer, Phil Spencer,
6 Issue 18
who wanted to do more for his fellow
Service brethren after returning home
safely from several Tours of Duty in
Afghanistan in 2007 and 2008.
Phil, by his own admission, served
in relative safety in Afghanistan as
a senior aircraft engineer on Harrier
Jump Jets; “where we were based at
Kandahar airfield was like a holiday
camp compared to the guys on the Front
Line. Our job was to ensure the aircraft
were ready to go at a moment’s notice,
so when the troops on the ground really
needed help to get them out of trouble
