Story

Thank you for taking the time to visit my Just Giving page.

It's nearly a month since I completed this challenge and I just want to let you all know that I am now physically fully recovered from the experience. There were lots of bruises and sore joints afterwards, but as you can see from my picture, the elation at completing the course was amazing.  I could not have done it without the support of so many people, not least my wonderful and gorgeous daughter Dominique, who trained me in the months beforehand and the other members of the ABF team.  

Thank you to all who have donated and helped me to achieve my target.  The money donated is essential to help the ABF in its ongoing commitment to our Armed Forces and their families and you can still donate.

It was a HUGE challenge for me, but my few days of discomfort were nothing compared to the bravery and endurance of the men and women of our Armed Forces.  In some cases, when they return from conflict, they and their families have to face a lifetime of adjustment, due to their injuries and experiences in war. The ABF have supported them for the last 70 years and will continue to do so - with our help!

PLEASE HELP SUPPORT OUR ARMED FORCES - THEY DESERVE IT.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thank you.
