Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I am a member of the University of London Air Squadron and our target this year is to raise £10,000 for the Jon Egging trust.
The Squadron will be taking part in:
The Pathfinder March (46 mile run!!)
The 3 Peaks
The Nijmegen march
Coast to Coast cycle ride
24 Hour Gangnamathon
Street Collections and any other wacky ideas we come up with!
Please dig deep to support this great cause!
The trust was set up in honour of Flt Lt Jon Egging, who tragically lost his life on the 20th August 2011 whilst completing an air display at the Bournemouth Air Festival; he was coming to the end of his first year with the world-famous Royal Air Force Red Arrows aerobatic team, flying in the Red 4 position.
Jon was passionate about inspiring young people through a love of flying and enthusiasm for teamwork. The Jon Egging Trust has been set up to realise his dream. The trust has developed an exciting and unique youth engagement programme – Blue Skies – which provides new opportunities to help disadvantaged young people achieve their full potential.
They are a young charity with big aspirations – with fundraising support our plan is to continue to expand nationwide to reach as many young people who need our help as possible.
