Blind Dave's Escape from Colditz

Team Blind Dave at Stadium

He’s already fled Alcatraz and now ‘Blind Dave’ Heeley is preparing to Escape from Colditz in his latest fundraising campaign for The Albion Foundation.

The West Bromwich-born athlete will cycle 800 miles from the once-infamous former prisoner of war camp all the way back to The Hawthorns to raise money for the Club’s official charity, starting on Monday, April 18 and returning home to the Shrine on Sunday, April 24.

 

Heeley is hoping to raise £75,000 two years on from the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the castle.

Dave has raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for good causes by taking on several exhausting challenges including the Marathon des Sables, all 25 of the Great Runs, Top-2-Toe, 7in7, Escape from Alcatraz and many more.
