Having been exposed for the first time  to the reality of what these courageous young men go through in Afghanastan and overwhelmed by their positive and determined outook on life when they return to the UK, despite the many challenges they face,  I felt it was time to do a little something to show my support. 

Inspired by my fabulous and slightly crazy boss, Natasha Brook-Walters (who recently survived the "Escape the Dunker" challenge!), I've teamed up with her to take on a 4km team assault course through mud, mud, tunnels, water and a whole lot more mud (I knew all those years at Glastonbury would come in handy one day)!!

This will be the first of a number of challenges I hope to undertake in the coming year (should I survive this one unbroken) so I'll email specifics as they arise and would be grateful for your sponsorship, no matter how small!

 

Why the Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund?

The Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund helps Royal Marines and their families when they need it most. They aid the wounded and injured. They give quality of life to those returning from operations. And when the worst happens, they support the families of those who die in service. The RMCTF has the widest purposes of almost any service charity - quite simply, the Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund will help when others cannot.
