Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>The Nijmegen 4 Day Marches will take place from 19-22 July 2011 and my company, FTX Logistics, will be entering a 12 man team who will hope to walk 50 km a day, totalling 200 km over the four days.&nbsp; Each team member has to raise a minimum of &pound;250 to qualify, giving our overall target of &pound;3000.</p> <p>Our chosen charity is the ABF The Soldiers Charity, a worthwhile charity that provides financial support to serving and ex-members of the British Army.&nbsp; It has been providing support to soldiers, former soldiers and their families for over 65 years and they currently support over 4,000 people&nbsp;a year.</p> <p>I appreciate that during the current finacial climate, and the many charities searching for funds, many people have their own charities to support.&nbsp; However, as an ex-soldier this charity is one very close to my heart and without continuing support many soldiers and their families would struggle to cope when things go horribly wrong.</p> <p>So please dig deep!!!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
