Somehow in the space of two emails I have signed up to 'speed march' through London on the 10th November with former 'Royals' raising money mainly for the Royal Marines Association..... so as a former PTI there was no way I could say no - especially to the extremely kind gesture from Ally (looking forward to those beers on the Saturday night Royal!).

But I thought I would also offer our awesome Nowzad family the chance to either support me speed marching 16 miles 640 yards for Nowzad or the RMA. So please donate on this page if you wish to support Nowzad or this page http://www.justgiving.com/Pen-FarthingSpeedMarch if you wish to support my fund raising efforts for injured Royal Marines. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails.
