Fundraising for Army Benevolent Fund
Story
Hello friends,
Thank you so much for considering donating.
Well, running the 2020 London Marathon didn't quite go to plan... so here we go with Take 2 for 2021!
It's been a tough year for everybody, and charities in particular have been hit hard by the loss of income from cancelled fundraising events in 2020. If you feel able to, sparing a few pounds for ABF The Soldiers' Charity would have a colossal impact on their ability to continue their important work supporting soldiers, veterans and their families in times of need - a cause which has become even more of a vital lifeline in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Coming from a military family, with both my Dad and Grandad having served in the army for the entire span of their careers, and my Mum having worked as a QA nurse for many years too, I truly believe in the importance of the work of charities such as ABF The Soldiers’ Charity. I am lucky to still have both my parents in good health, but there are plenty that have not been so lucky - the impact that their time serving has had on their lives is huge. The Soldiers’ Charity’s support can be transformational, but this is only possible with continued support from fundraisers and volunteers. It's a real honour to be able to raise money for such a great cause and I am so grateful to your support in achieving this.
This will be my first marathon (and, if I make it, I can promise you now it will be the last...) and anything you feel you can give is so so appreciated.
Thank you so much - see you at the finish line in 2021!
