The Army Benevolent Fund
I'm taking part in the Frontline Walk: The Western Front. I'll be trekking 100km following in the footsteps of those who fought on the Somme, Arras and Passchendaele battlefields during the First World War
I'll be doing this to commemorate the sacrifices made by those who fought in the conflict, whilst helping to support the soldiers and veterans of today.
It will be a physically and emotionally tough challenge, but I'm doing it all for a great cause: ABF The Soldiers' Charity, the National Charity of the British Army. They support soldiers, veterans and their families when they need it most.
Please cheer me on by making a donation towards my target.
