Hi all, thanks for visiting again, I have signed up again to the Paras10 which this year will be on 31st August 2014 at catterick. I will be running in aid of Pilgrimbandits again, if you can spare a few quid I would be very grateful

Please read below to find out more about the charity. 

Thanks again for your support.

 UPDATE ; On the 8/9/13 i took part in the Paras 10 at Catterick Garrison, running the arduous 10 mile off road, multi terrain course in 1Hr 48Mins.

A massive thanks to all who have sponsored me and helped me raise money for a good cause.

 

 

Last year i was honoured to meet Lance Bombardier Ben Parkinson MBE.

 I read about the injuries he sustained in Afganistan, once dubbed the most seriously injured serviceman ever to survive the battlefield. His injuries were so appalling doctors said he would never walk or talk again, however they didn’t take into account the determination of a 26 yr old Yorkshire man who has gone on to inspire others by his achievements including carrying the Olympic torch in his home town of Doncaster. He, along with www.pilgrimbandits.org raise money to set these wounded ex-servicemen challenges, keeping them motivated and giving them a life worth living after such terrible injuries.

His story and the work of the pilgrim bandits touched my heart, and has inspired me to do something, to give something back for the safety and security that we take for granted in todays society.

 

Please follow the link above to the pilgrimbandits website and have a look at the amazing work they have done.

My challenge is to run the Paras10 at Catterick Garrison, a 10 mile multi terrain endurance event, the same used for the Parachute Regiments Selection march

 

I am now also doing a fire walk on 3rd August

Please give generously. Thank you.

 

 

here is a bit about them;-

The Pilgrim Bandits was established by a small group of Special Forces veterans in 2007 with the sole aim of using our unique training and experience to help and inspire wounded soldiers to live life to the full.The  mantra  ‘Always a Little Further’  is core to our attitude, whether working with amputee men and women from the services directly or by utilising their experiences to inspire and encourage young people and children. We don’t do sympathy, but we bring the rewards of belonging to a team, encouragement, belief and the power of humour over pain!Our primary aim is to help those in need directly, with no compromise. Soon, those who needed help become those that give it. How do we all do this? The only way we know how by pushing injured men and women into physically and mentally demanding situations that they would not have dreamed possible; climbing mountains, jumping from aircraft, running races, trekking across inhospitable terrain –  and always a little further.  We push those that have already endured too much to  go beyond endurance – to embrace life again and in so doing  inspire others.
