Jonathan's 12 in 12 Challenge
Fundraising for RMP Central Benevolent Fund
Story
Thank you for clicking this far. I know the last thing you probably want to do is part with your hard-earned money, but I will be immensely grateful if I can convince you to donate as little as £1.00
What am I doing?
Between July 2016 - July 2017, I will compete in a charity event every single month. 12 events, 12 months. All race entry, travel and accommodation costs will be covered by me, ensuring that 100% of donations goes to charity. Other costs include a loyal fiancée who may berate me frequently for abandoning her at the weekends, for training and competing!
Each event will take the form of a run (first event will be a 10K race, followed thereafter by nothing less than a half marathon, and will also include one full marathon) or a cycling sportive with a minimum distance of 60 miles.
I will regularly post updates to this page so people can see what events I have completed.
Why am I doing this?
I joined the Royal Military Police (RMP) in 2003. The RMP has offered me a wonderful career, giving me the opportunity to travel far and wide, meet incredible people and to gain experiences I never would have thought possible.
However, as the saying goes 'You have to take the rough with the smooth', and unfortunately at times I have seen fellow members of the RMP, both currently and formerly serving, having more than their fair share of the rough. It is for these people and their dependants that the RMP Central Benevolent Fund tirelessly works.
The RMP CBF provides charitable assistance or benefit to those who need it from time to time, maintaining or increasing the esprit de corps of the Royal Military Police. A significant percentage of the funds they receive is also donated to the wider Army Benevolent Fund, assisting soldiers, veterans and dependants in need of help.
Whilst I have to date never needed to call upon such services myself, I have seen the work that this charity does and am proud to be raising funds to assist them.
Thank you for taking the time to read this story, and if you choose to go ahead and make a donation, please accept my sincere gratitude for doing so.
