Race2Recovery stop at Tedworth before Dakar Rally

Tedworth House in Wiltshire, UK, was the fitting venue to say goodbye and good luck to the Inmarsat-sponsored Race2Recovery team as they set off to take part in the Dakar Rally.

The Race2Recovery team – a squad of injured former British and US service personnel – is raising money for Help for Heroes and its flagship recovery centre at Tedworth House, as well as associated charities in the US.

The 8,000-km (5,000-mile) Dakar Rally, the world's toughest off-road endurance race, begins in Lima, Peru, on 5 January and finishes 15 days later in Santiago, Chile.

You can hear from Race2Recovery co-founder Tony Harris and Andy Start, President of Inmarsat Global Government, who were interviewed by Telecom TV at Tedworth House as the team prepared to embark.
