Op Frankton · 31 May 2014 to 8 June 2014 ·

Pilgrim Bandits know that adversity, challenges and obstacles serve to strengthen the human spirit. But for some of those we support, just to smile or enjoy the company of others, is an almost insurmountable task. We endeavour to get them to believe in a life worth living again. Through Pilgrim Bandits they push to new limits. They help others. They inspire children and young people by working with schools and care centers. Some say that we are a charity, we say were a charitable force.

Story

I was injured in Afghanistan in October 2009 and as a result I lost both my legs and my right arm. I decided from the moment I woke up in Selly Oak hospital that I am a survivor not a victim and I rebuilt my life.

I want to help other injured servicemen with both physical and none physical injuries so please dig deep and sponsor me!

I will be taking part in the reinactment of the Cockleshell Heroes who gave their lives in a daring raid that cut WW2 by 6 months!

We will make our way to Medoc Peninsular in France and take a ferry to Le Verdon. We will make our way to a French airfield and do a tandem sky dive to the starting point of the expedition. We will then kayak for 60 miles reaching Bordeaux on D-Day.

This will be such a tough challenge as i only have one arm but i will do it.
