Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
This year we have decided to take part in the 4 Day Marches in Nijmegen to help raise funds for Help for Heroes.
Help for Heroes was founded by Bryn and Emma Parry in October 2007 out of a desire to help the wounded Servicemen and women returning from Afghanistan and Iraq. The message of the charity is simple: We are strictly non political and non critical; we simply want to help. We believe that anyone who volunteers to serve in time of war, knowing that they may risk all, is a hero. These are ordinary people doing extraordinary things and some of them are living with the consequences of their service for life. We may not be able to prevent our soldiers from being wounded, but together we can help them get better.
The 4 Day Marches, for those of who that don't know, is an annual military march around the town of Nijmegen in Holland, with over 45,000 participants, each day we will cover 40km so that at the end of the march we will have covered just over 160km (100miles approx). It's pretty darn hard and involves us doing a lot of training to make sure we can hobble across the finish line at the end so please dig deep and donate now to give us even more incentive!
