Hello, Aidan and Clare here!

We are both part of the fundraising team at Care for Veterans, an organisation based in Worthing providing nursing care and mixed rehabilitation for disabled Armed Forces veterans. Alongside our day jobs, raising as much money as we can for this amazing charity, we have decided to run the Brighton Half Marathon too, on 25th Feb. Eeek!

We are very lucky to see first-hand the impact that donations have on the residents who live here, whether that's providing physiotherapy to improve mobility, speech and language therapy to give people a voice again, or providing fun activities in the Well-being Hub; every penny helps to improve quality of life for our veterans.

At Care for Veterans we take residents with varying service history, each with different disabilities and care needs. One such veteran is our wonderful Ron, who is our oldest resident at 100 years old. You can read his incredible, inspiring story here: https://www.careforveterans.org.uk/about-us/how-we-have-helped-so-far/ron/

Training is well and truly underway (only 8 weeks to go!!) and we would be so grateful for anything you can spare to keep us plodding on during the gloomy early starts whilst we get the miles in. Neither of us have ran a half marathon before, so it will be a huge challenge, but we are both determined to do it for our veterans. Thank you so much for your support.
