I've created this page to make a difference in the lives of soldiers, veterans and their families
I'm inspired by the work of the Army Benevolent Fund and wanted to support them by raising money as part of my participation in 2026 TCS London Marathon. The ABF is the Army's national charity, supporting individuals and families as well as other leading charities to ensure help is there for soldiers, for life. Last year, they supported individuals aged from just 1 day old to 104 years old. You can read more of their stories here.
Please help me help them by giving whatever you can using the 'donate' button. The more people that know about ABF, the greater their impact, so please also spread the word by sharing my page with your friends and family. Thank you in advance for your generosity, it means a lot!

Met your dad when he visited Alex at Eden in Cyprus , lovely guy who visited Alex daily and spent many hours by his side during his final days . Margaret gave me Alex balls to play with ( GOLF BALLS ) and i said i would donate all winnings while playing with them , in only a few short months ( i had a heart attack shortly after Alex passing away ) i won 60 Euro's , i have kept the 3 bottles of wine lol . ABF was Alex chosen charity and he got us involved by voluteering at the Cataran Yomp each year , which will continue. Good luck for your run ,
