A disabled army veteran will cycle the equivalent distance of London to Liverpool to raise money for charity tomorrow.

Clive Creer, 48, from Gillingham, will be taking part in the 182-mile challenge at ROKO Health club, off Will Adams Way, Watling Street.

Mr Creer, who served for 17 years in the Royal Engineers, will be using his own adapted bike for the fund-raising event.

In his time serving he broke his back and has had major surgery on his spine twice.

The most recent, in 2007, left him partially paralysed and with a permanent and constant tremor in his left leg.

The distance is based on the number of servicemen and women who have lost their life in action in Iraq and Afganistan since 2002.

Currently the number stands at 293, with Mr Creer cycling a kilometre in memory of each.

The funds raised will be given to HELP for HEROES , a charity supporting servicemen and women in current and past conflicts.

Clive said: "I know it will be hard and I expect to hurt.

"The only time I get a break from the tremor in my leg is when I’m riding my bike."

Clive has raised £500 online using the website Justgiving.com but if you’d like to sponsor him log on to www.justgiving.com/clivecreer

Last year Clive raised over £150 for charity EMBO.
