Alexander Milas, who co-founded the Truants with Iron Maiden manager Rod Smallwood, says: “It’s remarkable to think we recently completed our fourth two-wheeled pilgrimage from London to Download.
“It doesn’t stop at the finish line, though – with the tremendous generosity of the great and good of the music industry, this year’s Monster Rock Auction is set to be our biggest yet.
“Get bidding. It’ll make a world of difference in the lives of the kids who need it most.”
The money raised by the Heavy Metal Truants is distributed between Childline, the Teenage Cancer Trust and Nordoff Robbins Music Therapy.
