Thanks for taking the time to visit my Mud Run JustGiving page.
The day after Boxing day, I will be slogging it out in the depths of the Maldon Mud, just for fun!
But I have also chosen to set up a charity page in favour of BLESMA (British Limbless Ex-Service Mens Association).
BLESMA have been around for years, but I watched a programme about a couple of recently injured soldiers who were triple amputees, or blinded & lost both legs, it really brought home the feeling of what true courage is. These brave boys had almost lost their lives and were still fighting, but this time it was a different battle.
I spent time in the Royal Anglian Regiment but I was fortunate never to be sent to war. I believe that is why I have such a strong feeling towards BLESMA, because what they do & what they stand for is very, very important, especially to the injured soldiers they help through rehab.
They need our support & so do the injured troops returning home.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
So please dig deep and donate now & if you're local come down to Maldon and have a laugh, while enjoying watching all of us silly sods get caked in mud !!
