Having intimately witnessed the physical and mental trauma that serving in Afghanistan can bring, I feel it is incumbent on us to raise money.  A £1000 will provide a life skills course for a soldier to get back on his feet.  They have proved very successful and I would like you to play a part in helping a wounded Paratrooper come to terms with his injury and realise there is another life to lead.  

My admin means I ask you in retrospect, having completed both Brighton and London Marathons in 8 days. I have to say I found the latter part of the London Marathon a little tiring…

I am asking 50 of my friends and family to pay £20 each to raise the £1000.
