Patrons and Ambassadors

In the beginning, our aim was to get enough money to help injured service personnel enjoy karting, but Back on Track quickly developed a persona of its own. We do still raise money to continue the racing, but as more support is pledged from generous donors across the spectrum…celebrities, the Armed Forces and the general public…it has allowed us to take the charity to another level – one where we can offer physical help and cosmetic treatments to help alleviate scarring, burns injuries as well as psychological trauma. The medical industry has been generous, too, by offering their services at little, or no cost. Back on Track may be small…but we are mighty!

I first attended a medical consultation with Dr Aamer Khan back in 2012, to enquire about scar treatment. Having the treatment was one of the best decisions I ever made because not only have I had my scars treated with the most up to date technology available in the UK, but I also gained a new found confidence. Back on Track makes a significant impact on the rehabilitation of former servicemen and women. I don’t know where I would be without the support I get from the charity.

Jon and I are thrilled to be asked to be Patrons for this incredible charity. Having served in the Queens Regiment including a tour of Northern Ireland Jon is fully aware of the need for a Charity like this. Having a son who served in the Grenadier Guards, including a tour of Afghanistan, makes it very personal for us both. We are very invested in our military personnel and anything we can do to help them we will.

As a serving officer in the British Army, I am honoured to be an ambassador for a charity that does such fantastic work for our wounded service personnel. Back on Track combines the fun of Go-Karting with the comradery that comes with being part of a team. I look forward to working with Back on Track to raise funds and awareness of this very worthwhile cause.

Regardless of our own Journeys and the work we champion, we all need to stop, remember and honour the sacrifices of those that have served our Country. It is an honour to be a Patron of Back on Track. I look forward to working with my colleagues to raise awareness and funds for this amazing and unique charity.

"I really enjoy fund raising for Back on Track. It’s wonderful to see the difference Dr. Khan has made to the veterans by treating their injuries. I am honoured to be an Ambassador for this amazing charity and will continue to fundraise for it.

"I feel very honoured to be part of this exceptional Charity. I have a few ex Servicemen friends from The Scots Guards and other Regiments who have lost limbs doing their duty on various postings, then went on to show true heroism by winning medals at the Para Olympics. The care and attention and backup they get from 'Back on Track' is second to none, augmented by their amazing charity venues that contribute to fulfilling the needs of this much needed Charity.

I caught the racing bug when I was 8 years old, starting with karts and progressing to super stock cars. I have won European and World titles as well as becoming a top film, TV and commercials driver. I have been driver coach on Top Gear too but when I began coaching injured veterans that’s when the fun began. They are fearless and make my daredevil career to date look like a walk in the park. It is incredibly satisfying in helping them to become even greater heroes.

It’s a real honour and a privilege to be a patron of this wonderful military charity. I have nothing but the utmost respect for the injured servicemen of Britain’s armed forces, and the work Back on Track do to help is remarkable.

I have been a part of this wonderful cause since the start of the first race. At that time I saw how much camaraderie and laughter was shared between the racers, despite age, gender and disability, that it made me want to help to build this brilliant charity.
