Fundraising for Erskine

Story

As team of Royal Air Force Engineers we arrived in the Falkland Islands to complete a 6 month tour of duty. Seizing the opportunity to do our bit for good causes we looked around for a tough challenge.

We'll be 'tabbing' (Loaded Speed March) over a distance of 37 miles, carrying between 15 and 20kg of weight in our bags. Starting at Mount Pleasant Compound and finishing at Port Stanley. This will be a punishing challenge as we'll be up against the rugged, mountainous terrain and fickle Falkland Islands weather.

Erskine has been looking after our veterans for almost 100 years and is the leading care organisation for ex-Service men and women in Scotland. Please visit http://www.erskine.org.uk/about-us if you wish to know more information on the charity.

Remember: Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never share them with anyone or send you unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. They'll make sure Gift Aid (an additional 25%) is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer, too. That means more money goes to the charity, faster, with JustGiving.
