Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In February 2009, Corporal Gaden, Ist Battalion, The Rifles and three  other soldiers, from the same Battalion, were struck by a blast in the Gereshk district of Helmand province, Afganistan and pronounced dead at the scene.

The fourth, a Royal Marine from 45 Commando, was hit by enemy fire near Sangin and died in a UK hospital.

The deaths, in one day, took the number of UK servicemen and women killed in Afghanistan since October 2001 to 149.

 

St Georges School Great Curry Run on Saturday 27th April 2013 is about raising money for The Soldiers Charity to support those soldiers and their families. 

They deserve it. Please find it within yourselves to give £1 for each killometre I run.

 

Thank you. Dickie
