Hello, my name’s Luke, I’m 16 and I’m a Flight Sergeant in the Royal Air Force Air Cadets.

Being part of the Air Cadets has given me so much insight into service life, our nation’s history, and the sacrifices people make to keep us safe. It’s inspired me to work towards joining the Royal Air Force in the future — and it’s also made me want to give back right now.

To raise funds, I’m running  5 kilometres every single day until  11 November.

The Royal British Legion supports current serving personnel, veterans and their families. Many people who have served carry physical injuries or mental‑health challenges long after their time in uniform ends, and some struggle with housing, finances or everyday support. The Legion provides practical help, advice and care, plus they help us remember those who never came home.

Even though I haven’t served myself yet, I know these people deserve our backing. My goal is to help the Legion keep reaching everyone who needs their support.

Every donation, big or small, makes a real difference. Thank you so much for your support — it means the world
