Firstly thank you so much for getting this far and taking time to read my Just Giving page.

Most of you probably know that I have served in the Royal Air Force now for over 14 years, and during that time the nature of our work has changed dramatically. Our guys and girls are deployed to hostile environments, where not all of them are fortunate enough to come home in one piece.

This is where TROOP AID comes in. When injured troops return to the United Kingdom they often arrive back without their personal effects or clothing.  The objective of TROOP AID is to support them by providing the basic essentials in GRAB BAGS.

This charity has helped my good friend Helen Carter (my 12 in 12 team buddy) who has been on the receiving end of this charity, not once...but on two occasions - talk about unlucky! So as you can see this charity means a lot to the both of us.

I cant even remember where this idea came from but one minute we had signed up for the Edingburgh Half Marathon in May 2014, the next I'm creating a 12 in 12 team Facebook page to capture the crazy events we have decided to do to raise money for this great cause.

The Challenge:

Dec 13 - Oxford Santa Run (dressed as Rudolph) - COMPLETE!

Jan 14 - Sky Dive - COMPLETE!

Feb 14 - Devil's Gorge Abseil - cancelled due to weather (doubled up events in March)

Mar 14 - Boris Bike London Monopoly Challenge (I've made this one up basically visit all monoploy places on a Boris Bike in a day) & 'where's Wally' 10k London - COMPLETE!

Apr 14 - Electric Run Wembley - COMPLETE!

May 14 - Blenheim Palace 7k - COMPLETE!

June 14 -  Colour Run Wembley - COMPLETE!

Jul 14 - Devils Gorge Abseil - COMPLETE!

Aug 14 - Mudderella - COMPLETE!

Sep 14 - Run to the Beat - COMPLETE!

Oct 14 - TBC

Nov 14 - TBC

*******IMPORTANT STUFF*********

All funds raised will go to TROOP AID. We will pay for all the events from our own pockets, meaning every penny raised can go towards helping our injured soldiers returning to the UK.

 

Thank you again, I will try to keep this page updated for those of you who do not have Facebook, otherwise you can follow our adventures by liking our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/KellyHelens12in12
