Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. Together we raised £1,983.21 for Help for Heroes in the 2009 London Marathon and a further £426 in the Canada Army Run last September. I am extremely grateful to everyone who donated.

The professionalism, skill and bravery of medics, nurses and doctors, many of them Territorial Army personnel drawn from the NHS, and helicopter crews is saving the lives of our servicemen and servicewomen. It is essential that we do our part and ensure that thousands of injured personnel and their families receive the best ongoing support possible when they return to the community.  

H4H is now developing a series of Personnel Recovery Centres to provide a “launchpad” to life for seriously wounded or long term sick service personnel, supporting them as they make the transition to a fulfilling future. The first centre was opened in Edinburgh on 17 August 2009. H4H is raising money to open further, fully comprehensive centres each accommodating 20 residents with larger staff in Colchester, Catterick, Tidworth, Aldershot and a more permanent solution in Edinburgh. This is just one example of the projects being supported by H4H.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Help for Heroes gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

This is very much a team effort and I look forward to what we can achieve together! Thank you for your support!
