Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Once again I find myself putting on uncomfortably tight lycra for a great cause!  This was the result of one of those silly commitments you make after a long day...  What better way to raise money for the Royal British Legion than hours and hours and 280 miles of pain?  And for the 'Green Army' team, I was always going to be hooked 'Greeeeeeeen Army!'

The Royal British Legion caring and campaign for the serving and ex-Service community and really makes a difference to those that give so much for us all.

£5 will ensure that a housebound or hospitalised person receives a one hour friendship visit.

£20 would contribute towards an emergency grant to provide essentials like food, fuel, clothing or bedding to an ex-Service person struggling to survive.

£30 could help towards providing skilled advice and an hour's representative for a person at a Disability Allowance or War/Disablement Pension tribunal.

£75 could help towards providing a fresh start for an ex-Service man or woman, with a place on a vocational assessment course which can help them adjust to life outside the Services and introduce them to new civilian skills

£250 could buy an emergency lifeline alarm for an elderly person.

£800 could provide a severely disabled person and their carer with a much needed welfare break.

I know that money isn't sloshing around for everyone at the moment but I'd really appreciate anything you're able to sponsor me.  I won't be king of the mountains but it might just get me up the hills! 

Thank you.
