- some people think my hat is amusing, but it keeps the sweat out of my eyes!

 

Please support the Help for Heroes campaign and specifically Airborne Forces Charities - very many thanks, David.

For more information on this event, and the results, please go to www.paras10.com and especially http://www.paras10.com/pcoychallenge.php - there are two events, one for runners without pack and one with pack/boots; I wouldn't wish you to think I was taking things too easy!

 

The Airborne Forces Charity supports

  • Serving members of the Parachute Regiment and their families
  • Members of the Parachute Regimental Association
  • Qualified parachutists serving in armed forces units with an airborne role
  • Retired members of the Airborne Forces
  • Youth organisations that would benefit from the ‘Airborne Spirit’ ethos


Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Airborne Forces Charities gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!

- and please do consider taking part - the atmosphere is great, it's a very worthwhile cause, and before my first Paras10 last year I was the original unfit middle age guy.  If I can do it, you can.  See you next year!

 

Once again, very many thanks,

David
