BEN NEVIS CHALLENGE 2010

in aid of

Help For Heroes and The Royal British Legion

This is The Help For Heroes online donation webpage 

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

On 7 June 2010, after 7 hours climbing, the summit of Ben Nevis was reached safely.  For that I give thanks to my support team as shown in the photos (in no particular order)

The 4,409 foot high mountain is a challenge for a lot of people but will be many times more  so for me as I have a walking disability, the result of my own service in the Royal Air Force some 20 years ago.  Without walking aids, such as leg braces, walking stick or crutches, I can walk only very short distances.  And as they won't let me drive my Land Rover up the mountain (only Mr Clarkson gets to do that), I had to use crutches for the challenge.  The total time for the ascent and descent was 13 hours so the record of an hour and a half was not in any danger of being broken!!

Why did I do it?  Because these two great charities look after our servicemen of all ages and deserve our support, so please donate generously. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
