Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit Peter Comerford's JustGiving page.

You are in the right place to make a donation for Help for Heroes.

 

What is this all about:

I am looking to help raise £5,000 for a charity called 'Help for Heroes' by running a cross country style assault course along with a ten man team called 'Tough Guy'. 

 

Background:

I had a phone call in October 2009 from a mate of mine, John, from the RAF. He wanted to know if i would help him raise some money for 'Help For Heros' http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/

I said 'Sure. How much money do you want?' To which he responded, 'None, I want you to run Tough Guy 2010 with me, and raise some money.' http://www.toughguy.co.uk/?q=node/37

The link above shows the course (you can look at the various stages of the 8 mile hell on earth course if you wish)

 

Who are Help For Heros?

'Help for Heroes' was founded in October 2007 out of a desire to help the wounded Servicemen and women returning from Afghanistan and Iraq.

The message of the charity is simple: We are strictly non political and non critical; we simply want to help. We believe that anyone who volunteers to serve in time of war, knowing that they may risk all, is a hero. These are ordinary people doing extraordinary things and some of them are living with the consequences of their service for life. We may not be able to prevent our soldiers from being wounded, but together we can help them get better.
