Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I've chosen to push myself both physically & mentally this year for a fantastic cause. The Afghanistan trust raises money for soldiers who have physical & mental injuries. A number have lost their sight, arms & legs yet still remain resilient in unbelievably difficult circumstances.

In fact an injured ex paratrooper who now works for Barclays helped put my challenge in perspective as I started my training in March. I informed him that I had just run 2 miles and felt shattered. He then explained that he would be running the Para 10 even though he had lost a leg in Afghanistan as he would be getting his new leg before the event in September. A truly inspirational moment for me!!!

So please dig as deeply as you can & donate to these fantastic people who deserve our respect & support.
