On 11th November, I along with other Military and Protective Services students at Duchy College Stoke Climsland will be participating in our very own Poppy Run. This run involves as many 1-mile loops of a field as you can in two and a half hours. All donations received will be going towards the Royal British Legion's Poppy Appeal. I am very proud to support this cause and to be able to support the work that the British Legion do for both serving and ex-serving personnel and their families.

With my efforts to support this essential work, I have set myself the goal of trying to run 10 one-mile laps in two and a half hours while in fancy dress. Last year, I was able to complete 7 laps in two hours and I hope to beat this score this year.

Please give what you can - big or small - and help us honour the sacrifices of those who came before us, while supporting today's Armed Forces community.

Thank you for your support. Lest we forget.
