Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

The money we are trying to raise will go towards the Rifle's Benevolent Trust.  An exceptionally worthwhile charity who support the brave soldiers and their families involved in the current conflict overseas.

As for me (Anthony) I have never run a half marathon before, and those who know me i'm not exactly a marathon runner's shape.  I was approached by a former pupil and house captain who wanted to raise money for this charity.  I was only too glad to help and now I'm running whenever I can in the wind and rain to ensure that I complete this event.  So please sponsor us, we would like to raise as much as possible. 

I (Laura) am really pleased to have been asked by Mitch to help raise money for this worthwhile charity. I ran the Great South last year and raised over £100 for cancer research. I am looking forward to taking part again this year. We are going to work as a solid team to raise as much money as we can and we would be extremely grateful for any support you can offer ! Thank you :)  

Now to me (Mitch) I am familiar with fundraising as I have raised money before which went towards Help for Heroes a charity similar to the charity I am now raising money for now which is The Rifles Benevolent Fund.

After being inspired by an assembly about our chosen charity done by one of the teachers at my school, as said above I approached my tutor Ant for just general advice on what I could do to raise money for The Rifles. I then came out of that meeting with a goal of completing the great south run 2010, raising as much money as possible for the chosen charity.

I have now started to train as much as possible, I know it will be hard but I am willing to work hard to achieve my goals.

I think this is an extremely worth while cause, as it gives the brave service men, women and there families something back for defending our country.

All donations are much appreciated, thank you.

Anthony, Mitch and Laura.
