Donations cannot currently be made to this page

paras 10 · 17 March 2009

The Household Cavalry Foundation raises much-needed funds to support the soldiers, casualties and veterans of the Household Cavalry, as well as their families and dependants. The HCF also cares for retired horses and helps to preserve the unique heritage of the British Army's most senior Regiments.

Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. I am running the 'Paras 10' in memory of James Munday. He was killed in action in Helmand province on Wednesday 15th October 2008. He was a natural athlete and an adventurous person, so taking on a challenge like this, in his memory seemed appropriate somehow. I never had the privilege of meeting James (I work with his uncle) but hope to raise something for the fund in his memory.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Household Cavalry Central Charitable Fund 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.

15th September 2009 - I completed the race on Sunday, surprising myself even, by finishing in a time of 1 hour 36 minutes and 45 seconds.

Please sponsor me now!
