Team PARA including wounded soldiers competes in the prestigious US Marine Corps Marathon in Washington DC, on Sunday October 31^st. This 35^th running of the event is a major international event, attracting military teams from all over the world including US, Europe and the UK, raising awareness and funds on behalf of wounded soldiers.  

We will be raising funds for The Parachute Regiment Charity www.paracharity.org

Our ‘Maroon Five’ in Team PARA are: Capt Mike Kerrigan, OC Team; Cpl, Pete McCoombe, who has lost an eye; Pte Jaco van Gass (lost arm); Pte Kierhan Dry, (GSW to head) and L/Cpl Tom Neathway (triple amputee). Tom will pilot a hand crank bike and the team will make sure he goes the whole distance with their help. It will be a real PARA team effort.

So please dig deep and donate now. It will all go to help the wounded  and the families of our soldiers.
