I am an Officer Cadet with the University of London Air Squadron (ULAS), and we have chosen as a squadron to raise £10,000 for the John Egging Trust!

I'm going to be walking Nijmegan, which is 25 miles a day for 4 days, so in total 100 miles, in full military uniform and carrying kit! Combine this with the heatwave we are experiancing then it all adds up to a pretty tough challenege. 

Hence, I recommend that you donate some money to this cause whether it be £1 or £10, anything will do!

The trust was set up in honour of Flt Lt Jon Egging, who tragically lost his life on the 20th August 2011 whilst completing an air display at the Bournemouth Air Festival; he was coming to the end of his first year with the world-famous Royal Air Force Red Arrows aerobatic team, flying in the Red 4 position.

The Trust has developed an exciting and unique youth engagement programme – Blue Skies – which provides new opportunities to help disadvantaged young people achieve their full potential.
