Story
<p>Thank you for visiting my Just Giving page, it is much appreciated.</p>
<p>On 9th February 2011, my brother's eldest son, Conrad James Lewis, was killed in action in Afghanistan.</p>
<p>Conrad was a paratrooper serving with 3 PARA on the front line and was immensely proud to do so.</p>
<p>It takes a special sort of individual to join the parachute regiment and volunteer to protect the safety of others, but Conrad thrived on operations, as usual giving it everything he had and I miss him terribly.</p>
<p>Conrad was only 22, but the epitome of a paratrooper - as Field Marshall Montgomery put it "They are, in fact, men apart". </p>
<p>The Parachute Regiment Charity do an amazing job supporting the families of those soldiers who are hurt or killed in action and in Conrad's honour I feel compelled to support them in some way. Therefore, to raise some funds I will be competing in the PARAS' 10 event in September this year, a 10 mile endurance race.</p>
<p>I am grateful for anything you may be able to give and will do my best to honour Conrad's memory in this small way.</p>
