Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Well I'm running The London Marathon again!

After being persuaded by RAF Scampton's Station Warrant Officier, Gareth Davies, I will once again find myself on the start line of The Virgin Money London Marathon this April, promoting Support Our Soliders.

Personally, This Marathon isn't about time or setting a PB, although I will no doubt push myself to the very edge of what my legs can handle... 

I will be running for Support our Soliders, despite the name, this excellent charity, although small, continues to tirelessly dedicate their time & effort in support of British Servicemen & Women from all three forces, serving worldwide.

The following extract is taken directly from their website...

Support Our Soldiers was formed in March 2003 to encourage and provide support for members of the British Armed Forces serving overseas and their families at home. Since that time, thanks to the overwhelming kindness and generosity of the British public, over 130,000 morale boosting care parcels have been sent out to those on the frontline, and countless families helped through the very difficult time with their loved ones away on tour.

We support all the Services, and all ranks within these. We also work very closely with the medical teams in Afghanistan and the UK to provide much needed support for the injured.

Our wonderful teams, now spread across the UK, all share the same passion and commitment, and will do whatever they can to help our brave Servicemen and women and their families.

So, I ask you to please give generously & help me raise vital funds for this worthwhile cause.

Many Thanks,

Gareth
