Having served in the Armed Forces for 22 years I wanted to take part in a fundraising event close to my heart. ABF The Soldiers' Charity, provide vital support to soldiers, veterans and their families in times of need. As I am 60 this year I am going to celebrate by dragging my currently very overweight and unfit body along 100 km over 3 days as part of the Frontline Walk through the WW1 battlefields. 

I have set myself the 4 to 8 challenge. I am going to lose 4 stone over 5 months whilst walking 678  miles in training. (And now it’s here in black and white I can’t back out!) If you know me, you will appreciate that is quite a challenge so your support would be appreciated!
