I hope you have all been enjoying the great weather we have had this week! I have been making the most of the sunshine by starting to train for my latest fundraising challenge.
Some of you may remember last year that I took part in the Grim Duathlon, a tough 30km race on a very muddy army base in Surrey in aid of St. Raphael's Hospice in Cheam. I was overwhelmed by the generous support I received from local people who helped me to raise thousands of pounds.
In October I will again be racing in the Grim Duathlon and hope to not only better my time from last year, but to raise funds for another great cause.
This year I will be raising money for The Royal British Legion a charity that does outstanding work to support our brave troops and their families.
Last year I pledged to do my bit for the Armed Forces by signing up to support The Legion’s manifesto which calls on the Government to do more to honour the Military Covenant and to support to the Armed Forces Family.
But I also want to show my support for The Legion by raising funds to help them continue to do their vital work.
Please donate whatever you can, it’s very easy and all goes directly to our heroic troops, just visit my fundraising page http://www.justgiving.com/Tom-Brake and I will keep you all updated on my training progress over the coming months.
