Story

Sadly this year on the 16th of June the British army lost one of their finest soldiers while on operations in Afganistan.  This soldier was my cousin CPL LLOYD NEWELL.  A proud father, husband brother and son.

 

Lloyds career in the armed forces led him in many different directions, all of which he excelled at and in turn i believe that it is due to people like Lloyd that the rest of us are able to live our lives in the safe manner that we do.  In a small gesture to Lloyd and the exceptional efforts of all our armed forces myself and 7 other equally determined people, Karl Rushen, John Middleton, Garf Stock, Jono Twohey, Kieron Browne, Paul Cole and James Davison are all training to compete in the Para'10 P Company challenge.  This is a 10 mile cross country endurance race that follows a similar route to that taken by the men training to gain their place in the highly respected Parachute Regiment.  This race is to be completed in military boots and carrying a 16kg burgen.

 

I am asking all my friends, family, pets, strangers and pretty much anyone that will listen to sponser myself and the lads to help us raise money for Help for Heroes, The Parachute Rgt charity and also for Ella Mae, Lloyds baby daughter.

 

Thank you for taking the time to to view my page and a premature thank you for everyone that will be willing to donate anything no matter how small because you will be helping us to help an exceptional cause.
