Airborne Greetings! Thanks for visiting the greatest page on JustGiving.
3 Para needs your support! This year we are sending a team of the toughest Paratroopers to compete for 1st place at the annual Commando Speed March.
The event is a 7 Mile uphill slog carrying a 35lb Bergen, to be completed under an hour, recreating the historical selection course of the WWII Commandos.
We are competing to raise money for The Parachute Regiment Charity, which was established to support soldiers of The Parachute Regiment and their families, as well as Airborne Forces members who need help.
Their three key objectives are as follows:
(1) the relief of need, hardship and distress amongst past and present members of The Parachute Regiment and their dependents.
(2) the promotion of efficiency of The Parachute Regiment.
(3) the promotion and maintenance of the heritage of The Parachute Regiment.
