years old, noted he jumps on his two-wheeler most days of the year, the Nottingham Post reports.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I would be quite happy to do the whole thing quietly myself but I know I'll raise the most money by shouting about it,&quot; he added.<\/p>\n<p>The 56-year-old &ndash; whose brother was in the Royal Air Force &ndash; observed he is confident he will be able to complete the distance without too many problems, as he has done a few 75-mile bike rides before.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Heffernan is planning to navigate his way through four counties &ndash; Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire and Rutland &ndash; on the challenge.<\/p>\n<p>As well as being inspired by his brother, he observed a lot of his friends are in the army and so H4H was a natural choice for him.<\/p>\n<p>Posted by Simon Williams<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ADNFCR-2867-ID-801404201-ADNFCR\"
