Story

600 Miles for Erskine. A personal challenge over 12 weeks as I look to get myself fitter whilst raising funds for those who give a lot more than that for our country.

I was fortunate to get involved in the RSEA in its infancy, however over the last while I’ve been disconnected from the fundraising efforts of many. Anyone who knows Tam, the main secretary of the Appeal will know he’s got persuasive ways.

So, a mention of needing to get fitter along with the time of year where Remembrance of our Veterans falls into more people’s thought paths has seen me come up with this incentive. 600 miles of walking/running from Monday 30th September until Sunday 22nd December 2024 with a £1 per mile target.

It’s not easy at the moment, finances are as tight as my waistline, however this is for those who give us more than any politician ever will. Please help us support Erskine by donating whatever you can today, if you see me on my feet, you’ll know why I’m racking up 50 miles per week!

Cheers,

DJ.
