My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Those of you who know me will know that in August I will be marrying my best friend of 5 years - Ollie Card. Despite organising the volunteers who run for the Chelsea Pensioners' Appeal over the last few years it had never seemed like a particularly good idea for me to do the 10k. However, in the run up to the wedding I thought it would help with the motivation for getting in to 'wedding/honeymoon shape'. That is, as long as I don't break anything... which would definitely make for some interesting wedding photographs!!

I would really appreciate any support that you can give - and, for those of you coming to the wedding - you will even get the opportunity to meet some of the Chelsea Pensioners that you are helping with your donations in their home.

If you would like to find out more about the Royal Hospital Chelsea and our work, have a look at the website http://www.chelsea-pensioners.co.uk/

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails.
