<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">We are really looking forward to the MCM. Last year’s team had a great reception. We stand shoulder to shoulder with our US Allies, and will be showing them what Para fitness is all about. In traditional style we will be tabbing with boots and 35lb bergens.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">We aim to raise funds for ParaCharity which supports the soldiers and families of our own Parachute Regiment. We are also grateful to the Allied forces Foundation in the US which has worked so hard to get us over there to Washington.</span></p>
<p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
