Thank you for visiting our fund raising page.

We will be raising money for Help for Heroes by taking part in the Great South Run in Portsmouth on Sunday 26th October.

Help for Heroes was launched in October 2007 in order to help our wounded servicemen and women and to ensure that they get the very best treatment available to help them to overcome there injuries and make there lives just that little bit easier.

“Our Servicemen and women give more, risk more and sacrifice more, so we believe that they should be given more; we believe they deserve the very best. They say they are not Heroes, that they are just doing their jobs; we say that anyone who volunteers to join the Armed Forces and serve in a war zone is a hero and we want to help our heroes.”

Help for Heroes needs to raise a great deal of money in order to improve rehabilitation facilities, develop the relative’s house at Selly Oak so that the families of injured servicemen have somewhere to stay whilst visiting there loved ones and also to be able to give grants to the right organisations to ensure that our wounded get the very best.

I (Dan) am raising money for Help the Heroes in memory of my Brother in Law, Senior Aircraftsmen Chris Dunsmore, or Dunny as he was known to his friends and family who was tragically killed whilst serving in Iraq in July 2007. I am doing it in his honour because I believe that is what he would have wanted me to do, he would have wanted me to do my bit on his behalf to help support his colleagues in there time of need and to try to help make there lives and the lives of there families just that little bit easier. I would like to thank Neil for helping to raise funds for this very worthwhile cause.

Chris’ memorial website can be found here: www.chrisdunsmore.co.uk
