Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My story and reasons for taking on this challenge…

Ollie was my nephew. He was a Lieutenant in the Royal Marines. He was killed by an Improvised Explosive Device whilst on patrol in the Loy Mandeh area of the Nad-e Ali district in Helmand province, Afghanistan on the 27 May 2011 Age 23.  He was killed alongside Marine Sam Alexander MC. 

This challenge is in Ollie’s name. We are doing it to raise money for Royal Marines Charities. The money is being directed towards the Recovery Pathway Fund to help those Marines injured in conflict and those with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, PTSD. We are self-funding the trip so every penny raised will go to the RMC.

“Life is not a game that you aim to get to the finishing line in pristine condition, but one that you should slide over the line, battered, covered in dirt and grazes, but with a huge grin and shouting, Wow what a ride!”

This is why we are doing this for Ollie and to help those who came back.

We really appreciate whatever you can give every little will make a whole lot thank you so much…
