On Sunday 10th October I am running in the 16 mile Profeet RunKingston event in aid of The Rifles Care for Casualties appeal.  Since February 2007 The Rifles have lost 53 men killed, and 290 Riflemen have been seriously injured; these are the most significant losses of any regiment in recent conflicts.  The regimental charity will need to provide significant support for many of these men for the rest of their lives, and they must do this on top of the needs of aging veterans from earlier conflicts.  This year they need to raise £1 million, a target which is still a long way off.  You can find out more about the appeal at www.careforcasualties.org.uk.  Anything you can give will be very gratefully received.

Now for the practical part.  Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they will never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they will 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.

Thank you for your time and your support.
