Thank you for taking the time to visit my page. 

In memory of Major Stephen Hayward-Smith, late OC F Company 7 RIFLES who suddenly and tragically passed away recently, I will be running the London Marathon to raise funds for the Just Rifles Charity. Major Hayward-Smith was a devoted London Rifleman so its only fitting that a charity doing great things for our ex Servicemen should benefit from my marathon efforts in his memory.

Just Rifles began with solicitor Bryan Fugler reserving two seats in the box at Spurs for every home game, specifically for Riflemen and women. He did this in memory of family friend Lance Corporal Thomas Keogh who was shot and killed in action in Sangin, Afghanistan. Amongst those who joined Bryan in the box, a conversation about the everyday needs of ex-soldiers began. Bryan wanted to do more to help, and the seed of the Just Rifles idea was born.

6 years in, and we’re proud to say that Just Rifles has become established as the military charity with the personal touch. Many injured servicemen and women or bereaved families find that there are things they need. From household items to bespoke sporting equipment, Just Rifles is here to plug the gaps in one-off, everyday funding that ex-soldiers need.
