The Rifles Charities........Care for Casualties Fund Raising Campaign.

A group Mums of Riflemen from 2 Rifles smashing out the 24 kilometer Fan Dance at Brecon, rat packs, combats boots & bashers.

This is our tribute to the 14 brave men of 2 Rifles  who lost their lives last year in Afghanistan and to raise money for the Rifles charities.

Details of 3 day Challenge of a Riflemum below. 

We are a group mums of 2 Rifles soldiers who are coming together to remember and pay tribute to the brave men of 2 Rifles who lost their lives in Afghanistan and the injured who fought along side them.

In doing this challenge we hope to show the families of the brave soldiers from the battalion who lost their lives in Afghanistan they will always be remembered for the sacrifice they made and that we hold the families of the Fallen close to our hearts.

Our aim is to raise £10,000 for The Rifles Charities Care for Casualties Fund Raising Campaign….which is caring for the bereaved, injured and their families.

Please support us in this, every little helps, the Rifles Charities supports all the Battalions of the Rifles, all of which have had to deal with losses and injuries over the past few years and are continuing to do so.
