As many of you know, I am embarking on an incredible journey by running the Scottish half marathon. Yes, you read that right! This is my first time taking on such a challenge, and I am filled with excitement and determination. After months of dedicated training, I will be running 13.1 miles on August 17th to support Help A Squaddie charity.

Help A Squaddie's mission is to provide housing, support, and advice for homeless veterans through their own four-bedroom property, The Russell Aston Home for Veterans in Staffordshire. They also run food banks and host breakfast mornings for veterans who are struggling or in need. It is truly humbling to have been chosen to run for such a great cause.

However, this journey is not just about me; it’s about making a difference in the lives of those who have served our country. My goal is to raise £500 to help these veterans find the support they deserve. I believe that together with the generosity of friends and family, we can exceed this target! No matter how small your donation may be, every contribution will go a long way in helping a veteran in need. So please consider supporting this cause; your kindness would mean the world to me and those we aim to help. Thank you for your support!

Thank you
