Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
This year I am running the 40th staging of the Great North Run, the 3rd time I have done this race and which has been rolled over a year due to COVID - I should have been running this in 2020 in dedication to both Harry England & Mandy Stout who unfortunately lost their personal battles with Cancer just over a year ago, however since this time we have unfortunately lost other members of 55 Bty & 49 Regt RA so this years run will be in memory to all those.
I have chosen the Royal British Legion (my first Charity) for the following reason!
Harry was on Thirsk RBL club committee and also served as vice Chair over the years. As a true veteran Harry loved his connection to the RBL and also marched on remembrance day and as they say 'once a Gunner, always a Gunner' - Mandy also ran the RBL club for many years and was of great support in my Pedal 2 Paris challenge in 2018 and did so much to ensure our annual September reunion was well hosted by the club - we could not thank her enough for her organisation over the years.
In their memory I would like to ensure the Legion is able to continue in supporting its service personnel both serving and veterans.
The Royal British Legion do so much for service families and you can read about their work by visiting their web page.
