I'm raising money for ABF The Soldiers' Charity who provide vital support to soldiers, veterans and their families in times of need. For Soldiers. For Life.

I’d like to thank you in advance for supporting something very personal to me - 

1 -  it’s my first and very likely  - one and only marathon..

2 - the training will involve more than I’ve ever undertaken before - and the joys of not being 21 will make this even more of a personal challenge for me. My late father would have been SO very proud as he was equally as bonkers!!

3 - my youngest daughter - Meisje - has been involved with the Army Cadets for the last 8 years and hopes to start her Nurse Training in the Army in Autumn 2019. Therefore I hope to ensure that by raising funds in this epic personal challenge - I can do my bit in protecting her and her Military colleagues in the future should they ever require it. 

You can help give a lifetime of support to our soldiers, veterans and their immediate families, when they are in a desperate need. 

The Soldiers’ Charity makes grants to individual through their Regiments and Corps and supports a wide range of specialist charities that sustain the British Army ‘family’, both at home and around the world. 

£5 -  could go towards care home fees for an elderly veteran with no remaining family
£10 -  could provide safety equipment for the disabled child of a serving soldier
£15 – could assist towards employment related training for a soldier to start a new civilian career after medical discharge.

Again  - I thank you for taking the time to read this and support not only my crazy personal challenge - but more importantly; The Soldiers Charity and all that it provides. This is something that means a lot to both Myself and Meisje xx
