Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Im running this years Virgin London Marathon, while I'm coming to the end of my tour at a careers office i was lucky enough to be allocated a place for the marathon, while my battalion is on tour having a hard time, gaining many life changing injuries i wanted to do my bit, if i cant be there fighting with them i can be here raising money to help them.

"It’s about the blokes, our men and women of the Armed Forces. It’s about Derek, a rugby player who has lost both his legs, it’s about Carl whose jaw is wired up so he has been drinking through a straw. It’s about Richard who was handed a mobile phone as he lay on the stretcher so he could say goodbye to his wife. It’s about Ben, it’s about Steven and Andy and Mark, it’s about them all. They are just blokes but they are our blokes; they are our heroes. We want to help our heroes."

3 months of hard training by myself, 5 minutes by you to donate will help a heroes life changing injuries for life.........

 if all my friends and family donate £3 thats a pint or £5, a packet of cigarettes we can raise some serious money...
