Story

Thank you for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

This year on the 24th and 25th August myself, (Denzil), Ian Whitefoot (Wil) , Roy Smith (Smudge) and Ian Wilson (Tug), all Royal Navy Veterans have decided on taking on the challenge of walking from Fareham to Berwick St John, Shaftesbury, which mounts up to 80Km in total, to be completed across 2 days.

With a combined 111 years of service to the Royal Navy (Senior service), coupled with our attendance to other SSAFA fund raising events, we have heard all too often for the call upon this and many other like-minded charities to help our fellow serving and veteran personnel and we wanted to help make a difference in our own way.

Would you care to join in by supporting this good cause with a donation? We’re raising money for the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Families Association (SSAFA) Armed force charity and your contribution will make an impact, whether you donate £1 or £100. Every little bit helps.

SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity, has been providing lifelong support to our Forces and their families since 1885. Last year their teams of volunteers and employees helped more than 79,500 people in need, from Second World War veterans to young men and women who have served in more recent conflicts, and their families. Helps us to continue that support

Thank you for your support!
