Heavy Metal Truants Give Over $100K To Charity
. The presentation took place at London's infamous Crobar, co-owned by one of the Heavy Metal Truants, Steve Horne, while the money was raised via a 161-mile charity bike ride from London to Download Festival, the TeamRock Monster Rock Auction, and a charity raffle held at the Big Red bar in Holloway, North London. "The people at Nordoff Robbins, Teenage Cancer Trust, and Childline really deserve medals for the incredible work that they do," says Alexander Milas, TeamRock's Editor-in-Chief and leading Truant. "We figured �73,000 would be a little more useful. This amount is the product of so much hard work: from the riders who tested their mettle on the hills to Castle Donington, to the industry figures whose outpouring of support took my breath away, to the fans who stepped forward and bid so generously for our auction. This has been a tremendous adventure, and we really can't wait to do it all again. Huge thanks to our sponsors, the riders, and everyone who backed this crazy idea. We will be back next year, and we want you to join us. Watch this space!" More details and a photo here. Prog Magazine is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
