On the 27th of April I will be running 24km for ABF the Soldiers Charity. This is 10m for every soldier killed or wounded in Afghanistan since the conflict bagan.

More specifically I will be running for Lt Ollie Augustin, 23, of Kent (same age as myself) who died due to an IED in May 2011.

 

Lt Col Ewen Murchison said he had "considerable potential and a bright future ahead of him".

 

"As a leader he was inspirational, passionate and selfless, putting the welfare of his men above all else - they adored him and looked to him for direction, but looked on him as a brother in arms," he added.

Please give as generously as you can to help improve the lives of those returning soldiers in any way possible.
