Story

As you most of you know by now my little brother Lloyd Newell, Lloydy was fatally wounded whilst on operations in Helmand Province, Afghanistan on 16th June 2011. Lloydy is my hero, and a hero and an inspiration to so many. A Husband and a Father to a beautiful daughter. He loved his job, and made the ultimate sacrifice doing it. His passing left an enormous hole in the life's and hearts of all who knew and loved him. He was a special man, a man who always went a little further, the best I've ever known.

This year as the previous 2 years I will be taking on a number of events to try and raise as much support as I can for both the PARACHARITY and ABF The Soldiers Charity. This year I'm running the London Marathon again in support of the ABF and will be taking on Avalanche Endurance Events Winter Edition of the Fan Dance this January as well as the possibility of taking on more of their 'Test March' events (Point to Point completed in November 2014), there is also the PARAS'10 PCOY Challenge of which I've completed 5 times now and aim to add to, they will be run in aid of the PARACHARITY. 

I can't thank you all enough for the support I have been shown so far, but please if you can, help me again to try and make a small difference. Please donate and celebrate a true hero, my little brother.
