My story

 

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
On the 26th April this year I will be running the London Marathon in aid of a very special charity called the Forces Children’s Trust.

This Charity was formed in 2004 to help the children of service personnel who have tragically lost a parent whilst serving with the Armed Forces.

The FCT, by reason of its aims and size, has the flexibility and ability to make decisions and offer help as needed, with minimum fuss and consequent time-loss. The scope of its ability to help both an individual and a group of children in similar circumstances is illustrated by two recent cases.  It provided special software for a dyslexic young boy who had sadly lost his father.  The cost was beyond the mother in her present circumstances and not available from other sources.  The immediate response by the FCT enabled the young boy to instantly improve his educational skills.  The Trust also funded and enabled a trip to London for a group of young children to see the hit-show Mary Poppins.  This included an overnight stay as well as restaurant meals and other visits together with their mothers and escorts from the Army/RAF Widows Associations.

Having served in Iraq and Afghanistan, and being a devoted parent myself, I can only imagine how difficult it must be for families, and especially young children, to cope with the death of a loved one.

I hope, like me, you consider this a worth-while charity and will support me in this challenge.

Many thanks.
