Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On the 13^th September 2009 I took part in the Parachute Regiment ‘P’ Company Challenge (http://www.paras10.com/pcoychallenge.php) in order to raise funds for Help for Heroes. The race is run over the same 10 mile multi-terrain course as that used for the final Airborne Forces qualification test in the North Yorkshire Moors, and under similar conditions: a 16kg bergen and boots are worn. Of a field totalling some 2500 runners I came 20th in 1 hour 27 minutes!

Help for Heroes: "It’s about the blokes, our men and women of the Armed Forces. It’s about Derek, a rugby player who has lost both his legs, it’s about Carl whose jaw is wired up so he has been drinking through a straw. It’s about Richard who was handed a mobile phone as he lay on the stretcher so he could say goodbye to his wife. It’s about Ben, it’s about Steven and Andy and Mark, it’s about them all. They are just blokes but they are our blokes; they are our heroes. We want to help our heroes."
