Hi, it’s Kate. I’m a Staff Sergeant Cadet within
Cambridgeshire Army Cadet Forces and I was nominated for the Duke of
Westminster Award by my detachments SSI Dale Irving – I have been lucky enough
to reach the finals and spent a week of selection in Somerset and 2 weeks in
Cornwall with a great group of young people and CVQO Ambassadors. Next Stop is
the House of Lords Awards Lunch on Friday 25^th November.

In Cornwall the CVQO Finalists and I worked with some
amazing charities who I am now raising funds and awareness for.

I will be completing a Beginners Triathalon, 750m

can for these great charities – thank you for your support.
