All,

Now that we are both back from Afghanistan we thought that doing a Mountain Marathon might be a good method of burning of the calories imbibed on post tour leave.

The Lowe Alpine Mountain Marathon is a smallie run held annually in a mystery location. This year it takes place somewhere in Scotland on the 7th and 8th of June. Please visit the website for further details. www.lamm.co.uk

Rather than just doing it for the sake of it we thought we'd raise as much as possible and do it for a worthy cause. This website makes it mega easy for you all to dip into your wallets and pull out your credit cards and make a donation to the Gurkha welfare trust. The paragraph below should explain how.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us: The Gurkha Welfare Trust 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.

We look forward to seeing you all and telling you all about it,

Nick and JJ
