Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am 54 years old and suffer from vertigo. This has got to be the scariest activity I have ever undertaken in my life.

 Before I went through the Warrior Programme I would of never of contemplated anything of this scale. This programme has changed my life for the better and has given me the confidence and ability to move forward with a proactive, positive and unlimited ambition to achieve the goals I was never able to before.

The Warrior Programme supports Veterans of the Armed Forces and their families through an educational training programme to enable individuals to move towards an independent healthy and functional life.

This programme has given me confidence to believe in myself and my abilities. The support I have been shown has been tremendous and I wouldn't be half the person that I am today without their unlimited enthusiasm on my behalf.

My target is £4000, which will fund a refresher day,£2,300 for the cost of one person to go on a course for a whole year, or £20,000 to fund a whole course.

I have been on the course and four refresher days, it is time I paid something back. If I could pass on a tenth of how I feel to a veteran or their spouse/partner, to help change their lives for the better, then I would go on as many sponsored activities as I can manage.

My next goal will be to achieve a parachute jump and for someone with vertigo that should say it all.

I thank you in anticipation of your goodwill and generosity.
