Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

 

"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."

 

On May 15th I am running the Great Wall of China half-marathon... Think a half marathon will be easy? Google 'the great wall' and get back to me!!!!! Please help me raise as much as possible. H4H does fantastic work for our soldiers and is a worthy charity.

 

I am also trying to raise as much money as I can for Cancer Research UK. As I have reached my target you may want to think about sponsoring that page instead however, both are just as worthy. www.just-giving.com/Paul-Downes12

 

Every little counts so please dig deep!
