My story

 

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

On 8 April 2009 I am taking part in the North Pole Marathon in aid of the Help for Heroes Charity.  This race, which is a full marathon, takes place at the geographical North Pole and is the only footrace in the world which is run on water where the temperatures go as low as -30 degrees.

I chose to support this Charity following the death of my brother-in-law, Capt John McDermid, Royal Highland Fusiliers, who having served over 20 years in the military, was killed in action on 14 November 2007 in Afghanistan.

Please make a donation to this very worthy cause.

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.

Thank you for your support.

Neil
