Story

UPDATE: RUSSELL ROBERTSON IS NOW RUNNING WITH ME!

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

I am running the Reading Half Marathon to raise money for Help for Heroes.

In July 2008 my friend Peter Cowton of 2nd Battalion The Parachute Regiment, was killed whilst serving his country in Afghanistan. 

I had known Peter from the age of 10 and we had shared many experiences. The Peter I knew was a straight-talking, honest, fun-loving and kind man, but since his death I have discovered a lot more about his character, aspects that have made me even more proud to have known him.

All our soldiers are so brave to do the job they do and to face the many challenges that are thrown at them whilst serving this country. From meeting soldiers who served with Peter, I felt moved to do my bit to help those who have been injured whilst fighting.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Help for Heroes 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.

Please give whatever you can afford, every sponsor helps a very worthwhile cause.

Thank you for taking the time to visit this page to sponsor me.
