PLEASE USE DONATE TO A TEAM MEMBER, I AM THE ONLY TEAM MEMBER BUT THAT’S THE ONLY WAY I CAN FUNDRAISE FOR TWO CHARITIES. YOU CAN THEN CHOOSE WHICH CHARITY YOU WISH TO SUPPORT OR SPLIT YOUR DONATION. THANKS.

Pilgrim Bandits: In memory of Adrian Tobin

The Charity supported Adrian and he met some great people during his expedition he was proud to call 'his brothers'. Their mantra ‘Always a Little Further’ is core to the charity’s attitude, whether working with injured men and women from the Military or Emergency Services directly or by utilising their experiences to inspire and encourage young people and children. Pilgrim Bandits don’t do sympathy, but offer the rewards of belonging to a team, encouragement, belief and the power of humour over pain. Bandits’ primary aim is to help those in need directly, with no compromise. Soon, those who needed help become those that give it. By pushing injured men and women into physically and mentally demanding situations that they would not have dreamed possible; kayaking extraordinary distances, jumping from aircraft, running races, trekking across inhospitable terrain, self confidence is restored and self-belief instilled – Always a Little Further. Pilgrim Bandits pushes those that have already endured so much to go beyond endurance – to embrace life again and in so doing inspire others.

RJAH Hospital:

Veterans Orthopaedic Centre Appeal

This is an Appeal to help fund a new £1.5 million Veterans’ Orthopaedic Centre at the specialist orthopaedic hospital, The Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital, Oswestry, to treat veteran patients in a bespoke care environment. The current service, the first of its kind in the UK, delivers two outpatient clinics per month and is open to those who have served with the UK military, including National Service. It mostly treats arthritic lower limb problems, especially those requiring hip and knee replacements. The service is led by Lt Col Carl Meyer, a consultant military orthopaedic surgeon at RJAH.
