NEWS UPDATE

The KAAOT half marathon took place on Wednesday 2nd July and was a resounding success; there are now some very tired legs on the platform. The last runners crossed the line at 0720 as the temperature was hitting 40 degrees. Please take some time to look at a few pictures of the event and continue to donate sponsorship money; it is for a cause close to all our hearts.

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page. The Royal Navy are currently in Command of Task Force 158, protecting the Oil Infrastructure of Iraq whilst concurrently training the Iraqi Military to assume responsibility for this task in due course. The operation is run from the Khawr Al Amaya Oil Terminal (KAAOT), a rusting half mile long oil platform in theNorthern Arabian Gulf, affectionately known to us as 'Waterworld'. Here, coalition staff members from the ,US and AUS work alongside our Iraqi counterparts to protect the umbilical cord of .

In the searing heat of the Iraqi Summer (50 deg C) we have set ourselves a challenge to run a half marathon - 28 lengths of the platform - to raise money for the BFBS 'Big Salute' campaign. The 'Big Salute' is currently doing some sterling work to raise funds for 5 key service charities which support Armed Forces personnel who are adversely affected on operations throughout the world.

Now that you are here, please dig deep and take time to sponsor us online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: The Big Salute will receive your money faster and, if you are a taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So go on, please sponsor us now!

Many thanks for your support.
