hi guys

Every year i try  to do at least one fundraising event for a charity, and this year ive chosen to do the BUPA london 10000 run on may 31st.  However my reckoning is that 10 kilometers isnt really that hard at all, and wouldnt normally be worthy of fundraising,  so me and 7 of my work colleagues have decided to make the 10K Run a damn sight harder.

We will be doing the full RUN in our uniform and boots whilst carrying a Bergen(back pack) containing 20Kg in weight.  On average that is an additional 25% of our body weight to carry.  However to make it even more challenging we have set ourselves a target time to complete the distance in.

So a target time of under 60 minutes, carrying 25% of our body weight, which works out to 10 minutes per mile. :confused:

Below is the link for our fundraising page.
Who would like to sponsor us!! http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/RoyalEngineersforssafa

So if any of you guys would be kind enough to donate to the charity, it would be very much appreciated and would be going to a very good cause.  

Each year i choose a different charity and normally it is a smaller charity that suffers under the limelight of more established/well known charities.  This time i thought i would choose SSAFA forces help, a long term forces charity that is this year celebrating its 125th year of service to the armed forces both serving and retired.  All though thy have been out a long time they are overshadowed by the likes of "Help for Heroes" and have suffered lack of funds as a result. The good thing about SSAFA is they directly support individuals and their families, as a pose to the H4H charity who support much bigger causes etc.

Thanks to steveP for allowing me to post this up, and many thanks to anyone who is kind enough to donate some money to this event. :drinking:
