The Heavy Metal Truants Raise Over One Million Pounds For Worthwhile Charities

The Ninth Heavy Metal Truants adventure in 2021, attracted more than 260 participants – including Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson, along with walkers and runners for the first time.

In just 12 days, they smashed their target of bringing their long-term total of funds raised to over £1 million by cycling, running and walking 37,917 miles – which is beyond the equivalent of the planet’s circumference.

The Heavy Metal Truants have now been named as the official charity partner for special Download Pilot 2021 event, a government approved test event with 10,000 fans, taking place 18^th-20^th June 2021 at Donington Park.

Iron Maiden manager Rod Smallwood comments “Download’s support for the Heavy Metal Truants from day one has been absolutely terrific and much appreciated. It’s especially important now given how hard these charities have been hit by the pandemic, we sincerely thank Andy and Melvyn for their incredible support. It’s all about these four amazing charities after all:Childline, Save The Children, Teenage Cancer Trust and Nordoff Robbins – that’s why we do it!.”
