UNFORTUNATELY DUE TO UNFORSEEN CIRCUMSTANCES, MY UNDERTAKING OF THE NATIONAL 3 PEAKS CHALLENGE IS BEING DELAYED UNTIL APPROX. MARCH 2011!
Hi all,
I have chosen to undertake the National Three Peaks Challenge on the 21st of August 2010, in aid of Help for Heroes.
The Challenge entails climbing the 3 Highest Mountains in Great Britain - Ben Nevis in Scotland, Scafell Pike in England and Snowdon in Wales, in 24 hours. Starting with one foot in the water at Fort William and ending with one foot in the water at Caernarfon.
This is an immense feat, with a journey of over 500 miles to traverse.
I have chosen to donate to Help for Heroes because it is a charity that has a great personal meaning to me,
I am a cadet in the Air Training Corps, the youth training branch of the Royal Air Force, and have many friends serving overseas in Afghanistan.
I am doing this challenge in the memory of 2 local heroes, WO2 Dan Shirley, 13 Air Assault Support Regiment, Royal Logistic Corps who was killed in Afghanistan on the 27th of June 2008. and also Cpl Marcin Wojtak, 34 Squadron, Royal Air Force Regiment, who was killed serving in Afghanistan on the 1st of October 2009.
Please, help me to raise the money to help our brave soldiers fighting in the war in Afghanistan.
Help me to make a difference.
i am also raising money for LOROS, the Leicestershire and Rutland Hospice, for the same challenge. So you can choose which charity you would like to donate to:
