Thanks for taking the time to visit my fundraising page.
On the 24th of October 2009 I will be attempting to run (or probably walk the hilly bits)the 27th Snowdonia Marathon in aid for Help for Heroes.
Having seen first hand some of the appalling injuries our troops are sustaining in the course of carrying out their duties, anything we can do to help them recover from their wounds is well worth the time and effort.
What will H4H do with your money? They have already raised enough to add a swimming pool complex to Headley Court rehabilitation centre. £3.5m has been donated to sister charity Combat Stress to help with mental health issues that are more and more common amongst troops returning from the front line. Also money has been donated to projects to improve Selly Oak Hospital in Birmingham.
For full details, please visit www.helpforheroes.org.uk
As for me, the training will start in earnest on the 9th of May when I run the Kandahar 10 miler. Then the runs will gradually ramp up over the course of summer until I have the stamina to at least not die during the Marathon.
Many thanks for reading, and please get sponsoring!!!
