R&R Basra to Fallingbostel · 10 October 2008

Story

Thanks for visiting our fundraising page.

We are currently serving on Op TELIC 12 in Iraq and whilst here have decided to attempt an arduous challenge - there are 3 of us who will run, row and cycle the distance from Basra to Fallingbostel, Germany (our home base) - no mean feat at 7979km!

ASM Ward will run 13km/day

SSM Mcguire will row 13km/day

Sgt Murphy will cycle 26 km/day

We wanted to contribute to a charity that we feel is not as well known but has a pupose close to all our hearts - children!

Many children in these times are affected by the campaigns that the British Military are involved in and this is our way of making sure they are not forgotten.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Forces Children's 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.

So please sponsor us now!

UPDATE!! - 10 Oct 08

On doctors advise Dan Ward has had to withdraw from the event but WO2 Davy Black has bravely stepped up to the plate and is now pounding the streets!
