Hi all, thanks for visiting my page.

Those who know me well, know that I like to mix it up with the fundraising challenges I do. All the fundraising I have done has been for charities that are personal to me and this one is no exception.

I was proud to have spent 12 years in the Royal Navy and since leaving I have continued to work alongside nearly all branches of the Armed Forces making true and lasting friendships. Sadly, as is the nature of the job, some paid the ultimate price and there are many who are now living with visible and/or invisible disabilities and everyday is a challenge greater than most people could imagine.

Veterans & their families face their toughest battles yet. Painful injuries. Mental trauma. Disability. Isolation. I am one of the lucky ones so I am completing a 9 day trek to Ancient Petra to raise money and awareness for this amazing charity. I will be following ancient Bedouin paths for one hundred spectacular, vista-packed kilometres. From gentle hills, wadis and arid desert, I'll cross the dramatic mountains, sandstone canyons and wild-sculpted escarpments of Jordan’s Rift Valley.

Help for Heroes offer life-changing services to support Veterans and their families. From physical & mental health care, to help with welfare & medical needs.

Your donations ensure they get this specialist support for life.

I know times are tight for everyone these days so I would be truly grateful for any support you could give me by making a donation to Help for Heroes.

Thank you.

Big hugs,

Karen xxxxx
