Just a quick post here to let you know of a charity march being organised by the Argylls (my Dad’s old regiment).
The march is being done from Inverness, Northwards to Bettyhill on the far Northern coast of Scotland.

The event is going to be attempted by 10 members of the regiment and it will be 112 miles, to be completed in 3 days whilst carrying a 55lb bergen - this is a good effort in anyone’s book and goes back to what charity fundraising should (IMO) be all about ie. actually putting yourself out on behalf of your chosen charity.
Some members of NRA may travel up to show support however the best way to show support for Help For Heroes is to make a donation which you can do at the link above - of course through the Just Giving site, your details are 100% secure and you can even add gift aid to allow the charity to claim back tax on your donation.

What are we doing for H4H? Well we are hosting the Sleepwalker Night Race again (entries at www.runnerworld.co.uk/events), which will split the monies raised between H4H and the Mountain Resucue,

We’re also donating 10% of sales of the brand new:

LIFESAVER BOTTLES - portable water filter/purifiers

We had the adjacent stand at the recent Ordnance Survey Outdoor Show and the inventor of Lifesaver Bottles told me the 1st shipment of these had just gone out to the Army. We expect these to fly off the shelves because they will allow all outdoors people to be assured of clean safe drinking water, and plenty of it - the filters last a minimum of 4000 litres - that’s 4 Tonnes of water!

If anyone is booked on one of our courses, or enquires through the blog or ARRSE we’ll do you a 10% discount and H4H still get their bit!

Please do consider giving what you can afford to Paul’s page (top) as every bit helps!
