My Story

Hello! I am taking on the TCS London Marathon in 2023 for SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity.  

I don't really like running, and my mate, Leigh, who I am running with, is really good at it, so I'm just focussing on raising money for SSAFA and getting around without puking.

£2500 is a lot of money to raise, but I think I can do it...

SSAFA helps service people when they need it most. I've seen people hit rock bottom and be really helped out by SSAFA, so I want to raise awareness in the Regiment and on camp so that everyone knows that SSAFA is there for them, and that it's a good idea to support the charity when you are fit and healthy because you never know when you might need them to support you or your family.

Leigh and I will be running fundraising events at work, but it would be really helpful if anyone who wanted to support SSAFA could donate here - there is gift aid added and the money goes straight to the charity. Also, my fundraising rep will then see that I'm not being totally useless and that I might actually raise the full amount I pledged.

THANK YOU!

SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity is a trusted source of practical, emotional, and financial support for serving personnel, veterans and their families in their time of need.
