My story

 

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

I am currently serving in Afghanistan with my unit the Second Battalion The Yorkshire Regiment.  I have taken the opportunity to raise money for the Army Benevolent Fund by growing my beard - a sponsored beard growing fundraiser!  Being out here makes you realise how important it is to help injured soldiers and I am aiming to do my part by raising money for ABF.


Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Army Benevolent Fund will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.

I also have a blog with the Scarborough Evening News Newspaper starting soon, so you can keep up to date with life in Afghanistan and how far I am getting with growing my beard.

Merry Christmas from Afghanistan!
