Race on the Rock · 20 August 2023

The RAF Benevolent Fund is the RAF's leading welfare charity. We have been there for all members of the RAF Family for over 100 years. Last year we assisted more than 70,000 members of the RAF Family. Support us in 2025 and help us reach even more members of the RAF Family.

Story

I'm dedicating this fundraiser to all the RAF personnel that took part in Operation Pitting in 2021. From the pilots and loadmasters to the RAF Police and Logistics on the ground. Those that know, know.

I recently received a challenge from the RAF at Gibraltar to race them to the top of the 'Rock' after climbing one of the highest mountains in Africa this year. Not one to turn down a challenge, especially if it's from the RAF and involves monkey's I duly accepted!

I'm hoping to raise £426 for the RAF Benevolent Fund, £1 for every meter I'll run to the top of the rock to win this race. So anything you can spare to help me run to the top will be brilliant.

I'm fundraising for the RAF Benevolent Fund as I hope to join the RAF when I'm older and be part of the RAF family, They have supported members of the RAF, RAF Veterans and their families for more than 100 years. Over the last four years the RAF and the RAFBF have afforded me many fantastic opportunities and memories to last me and my daddy a life time so this is just a small way for me to say thank you again RAF for all the amazing memories.

Finally, thank you for supporting me and the RAF Benevolent Fund.
