Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My name is SSgt Billy McKay, I am a regular solider stationed in North Yorkshire and along with 4 other members of my regiment we are planning on completing a 24 hour row on 2 gym rowing machines at a large shopping centre in North Yorkshire.  After completing the task last year and raising over six thousands pounds I felt that with the help of members from my regiment  we could do more this year, please give as much as you can and pass this page on to everyone you know. 

We are doing this for a chartiy called The Forces Children's Trust, the Trust is a charity devoted to helping dependent children that have lost a parent whilst serving within 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.

In contrast, the Trust 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.  In addition, a dream came true for many children and the trusts founder Denny Wise with a special trip to see 'The Sound Of Music' at the London Palladium.

Thank you for your support.
