Thanks to the regulars at the Harbour Inn, Newhaven for raising £36.80! Thanks for all donations large and small, every bit counts.

There are still a couple of months in which you can donate on this page, and help me reach make my fundraising target of £1000.

I'll post some more pictures and video from Twickenham soon!

Thanks for all your support guys! Keep it coming :-)

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

 

I have taken on the challenge of fundraising for our Royal Marines by choosing to Take The Leap – an eye-watering abseil into Twickenham Stadium – home of English rugby. For added spice, I'll be doing it one handed!

So what will I be doing on October 5 2012?

I’ll be trained by the Royal Marines Display Team before donning a full body harness and performing a fast rope abseil into Twickenham rugby stadium. I would be very grateful if you could sponsor me.

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.

What is the Commando Spirit Series?

The Commando Spirit Series of events offers participants once-in-a-lifetime experiences to test their mettle and gain a rare and privileged insight into what it means to be a Royal Marines Commando today.

The events pit participants against some of the most formidable aspects of the Commando training, stretching us to achieve our fundraising commitment of up to £35,000 each and buddy us up with a former or serving Royal Marine who will provide motivation and encouragement when the going gets tough.

I’ve signed up. If you have what it takes to join me, emailinfo@commandospirit.com

What is Take The Leap?

Take The Leap, set to take place in autumn 2012, will offer an elite group of civilian participants the chance to experience what it’s like to abseil off buildings and take on Royal Marines abseil training. Following training the recruits put their new skills into practice by abseiling from an exciting soon to be announced central London location on 3rd September, the roof of St Pancras on 14th September or into Twickenham on 5th October.
