Bath Half Marathon 2012 · 11 March 2012 ·

We exist solely to support The Parachute Regiment and Airborne Forces, looking after veterans, serving soldiers and families within our Airborne community. We're there for our nation’s paratroopers through the good and the bad, from the moment they join our family to the sounding of the last post.

Story

<p>If you are looking at this page there is a good chance that you know me. If not,&nbsp;I served with the Parachute Regiment&nbsp;from 1988 - 2001 as&nbsp;a member&nbsp;of <a title="3 Para" href="http://www.army.mod.uk/infantry/regiments/4631.aspx">3 Para</a> and the <a title="Red Devils" href="http://www.reddevilsonline.com">Red Devils</a>. Back then I was known as Karl 'Kenny' Everitt.</p> <p>As I am getting on a bit now, the trousers are getting a bit tighter with the belly getting a bit bigger, I have decided to run the <a title="Bath Half Marathon" href="http://www.bathhalf.co.uk">Bath Half Marathon</a> on 11 March 2012. While I am running it I may as well try and raise a few bob for a worthwhile cause that is quite close to home for many of you.</p> <p>The <a title="Parachute Regiment Charity" href="http://paracharity.org/">Parachute Regiment Charity</a> was established to support soldiers of the Parachute Regiment and other Airborne Forces and their families.</p> <p>Their&nbsp;objectives are:</p> <p>(1) the promotion of efficiency of The Parachute Regiment;<br>(2) the relief of need, hardship and distress amongst past and present members of The Parachute Regiment and their dependents<br>(3) the promotion and maintenance of the heritage of The Parachute Regiment.</p> <p>So, for those of you with short arms and long pockets please dig deep. It will be appreciated by those that really need it.</p> <p>***Utrinque Paratus***</p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><em>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
