Story

Story

I pledged to walk/run 1921 miles over the year starting November 2020 to November 2021, while doing the walks/runs I am aiming to raise £1921 for this great charity. The work they do in local communities for veterans and their families are great and every little bit helps. As of 17 July my current miles count are close to 1700 miles and I will continue to walk/run until November 2021.  All donations will go to this great charity.

Thank you in advance.
