I'm 17 years old and serving in the army, I want to challenge myself by competing in this years summer fan dance which is renowned as being one of the most gruelling and difficult events to compete in, this is why the SAS have it in their selection. It consist of carrying a weight of 35lbs on your back for a total distance of 15 miles(24km), yes, call me mad.When I was young my mom became a widow and she has also been challenged in raising her two children by her own. This a reason as to why I chose the charity I have as I know what the families who have lost someone close can feel like, even more so when they are serving.
