On 9th September I shall be running the Great North Run in the memory of both Simon Valentine and Louis Carter , both of the 2nd Battalion of The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers .
The Great North Run is the biggest Half Marathon in the World , with over 58,000 people running 13.1 miles from Newcastle-Upon-Tyne to South Shields .
Simon and Louis lost their lives serving Queen and Country in Helmand Province , Afghanistan in 2009 .
It is important that their sacrifice , as well as many others , should never be forgotten .
At the request of Simon and Louis's mothers , any money raised shall go towards the Bedworth Armistice Parade .
