Walking for Veterans · 8 July 2022

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am aiming to raise £500 for the Rovers Armed Forces Veterans Club by asking people to sponsor me on my Welsh 3 Peak Challenge. Alongside my brother Matthew, we are taking on the
Welsh 3 Peaks Challange, Mount Snowdon (3500 feet), Cadair Idris (2930 feet) & Pen y Fan (2907 feet) in just 24 hours.

I have always been a  Blackburn Rovers Fan and am now a valued member of the Rovers Armed Forces Veterans Club, which was established late in 2021. This club provides a safe space for Veterans to meet over breakfast, socialise, with likeminded veterans, access support and take part in many activities both at Ewood Park and away.

Friends of mine pointed me in the direction of the Rovers Veterans Club, which I appreciate, value and take so much from that I now want to take on this epic challenge in order to raise vital funds which will help in keeping the club going.

I am passionate about giving back and making a difference, so I want to fundraise for, highlight and shine a light on this brilliant project.

I am so grateful to the Rovers Veteran Club and love how it brings Veterans together and offers a variety of support methods and signposting opportunities.

I would be extremely grateful if you could help me achieve my goal. Any donation, big or small is much appreciated, and all proceeds raised will go directly to support the Rovers Armed Forces Veterans Club. 

Thank you
