Fundraising for Help for Heroes
Story
I want to give back to Help for Heroes for the amazing work that they do.
My Dad served 30 years Royal Air Force service and my partner is in The Royal Navy. Completing a standard organised event didn't connect to the cause for me and anyone who knows me knows I like to go above and beyond so….
My plan is to run from where my partner is currently stationed at RNAS Yeovilton to each of the bases in the U.K. I’ve lived at/Dad’s been stationed at so:
It’s about 630km total but via trail routes etc May be a little longer.
Distance: At least 600km
Duration: 11 days
Running from where my partner is currently
stationed at RNAS Yeovilton to each of the
bases in the U.K. I’ve lived at/Dad’s been
stationed at.
Key Markers:
Start: RNAS Yeovil
RAF Odiham
RAF Marham
RAF Cottesmore
Finish: RAF Coningsby
Dad completed his service in the April of 2015 so am doing this in April 2023 and telling the story of my life in the forces along the way.
I don’t remember much of my childhood because of all the moving around, so it may unlock some other things for me too.
I am raising money for Help for Heroes to support those that aren’t so fortunate as my Dad and suffer the consequences of no longer being able to serve their country due to medical discharge etc.
I am very grateful for your support of this challenge. Running 600km+ in 11days will not be an easy feat, but this isn’t about me. This is bigger than I am.
