The formation of No: 600 (City of London) Squadron, RAF Reserves (600SQN) took place on the 14th October 1925 at RAF Northolt.

The 90th Anniversary of 600SQN was on 14th October 2015.

600SQN personnel will be organising/taking part in a number of events during the 90th Anniversary (14 Oct 2015 to 13 Oct 2016) to raise money for our chosen charities.

This fundraising activity in support of Dwayne Dawson's North Pole Marathon is one of those events.

--------------------

Our Mission

Dwayne Dawson, who is employed by Fujitsu Services Ltd and a member of 600SQN, planned to take part in the North Pole Marathon in April 2016.

Due to an injury he deferred his sub-zero 26 mile challenge to April 2017.

Dwayne is using his North Pole Marathon adventure to raise money for two charities, Action for Children (the nominated charity of Fujitsu Services for 2015-16) and SSAFA.

Our Mission is to support Dwayne with his fundraising for Action for Children (A4C) and therefore we have created this page to record the amount collected on the May 2016 Bucket Collection and donations received for A4C.
