Story
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.
I am ex-POMEA Steve (Sam) Chard and served in the Royal Navy 1974-87. I was a submariner, 2nd Submarine Squadron, Devonport, my boats were Spartan, Swiftsure, Sceptre and Splendid.
The Stanley Marathon 2008 is being run on Sun. 16th March, right at the end of the 25th anniversary year of the war to liberate the Falkland Islands and South Georgia from the Argentine invasion on 2nd April 1982 -I am running it to remember 3 friends killed in the campaign and to pay my respects to ALL who went south.
I can't think of a better way of doing this than to actually run in Stanley and in so doing raise a huge sum for 'The Legion' !
When you find this page please tell as many as you can to also visit it and help in raising the money needed to care for veterans and their families. Unfortunately war will always be with us -as will the need to finance the support required by those who serve.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Royal British Legion will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
So please sponsor me now!
Many thanks for your support.
