Thank you for taking some time out to visit my JustGiving page as I am trying to raise some funds for SSAFA.

There are a couple of reasons why I am trying to do this,

The first one is that this charity has helped me in the past, as I needed some financial support when I left the forces back in 1994 due family issues. I was married, with two children, one of which is disabled, hence the reason for leaving, and getting my first council house leaving the forces, it needed some carpets to make the home safe, as my disabled son, as he was not able to walk and when not in the wheelchair, spent most of his time on the floor, SSAFA came through and gave us enough cash to at least carpet the ground floor and his bedroom.

Secondly, I am getting on in life and I was looking at the Thames Path Challenge and thought why not, I am not getting any younger. It is 100km from Putney Bridge to Henley walking continuously along the river bank where possible and I am trying to complete it under 26 hours without any significant breaks.

So please try and support me in the challenge, as I am trying to pay back and help those of us who come after, as I have completed a couple of other challenges for SSAFA in the past, so please dig deep and see if I can smash my target.
