Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have had the honour of serving in the Rifles on several operational tours over the last few years. During these operations, many fellow Riflemen have given their lives for their country and many more have sustained terrible injuries. Care for Casualties provide valuable help to the families left behind or to the Riflemen that are learning to live with their injuries. Their sacrifices have been for all of us and we owe them whatever support we can.

To provide a little entertainment for your generosity, I am taking part in the Spine Race, an ultra-distance, mountain marathon, running and tabbing the length of the Pennine Way (268 miles) in seven days, carrying food and equipment to survive and operate in remote and difficult terrain during the hardest month of the year. A fitting challenge for a Rifleman.
