BEN NEVIS CHALLENGE 2010

in aid of

Help For Heroes and The Royal British Legion

This is The Royal British Legion online donation webpage 

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

On 7 June 2010, we successfully reached the sumit of Ben Nevis after 7 hours of climbing - me on crutches.  Why?

 

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 climb was completed in 13 hours including the descent so we didn't break the record of an hour and a half

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.
