Pegasus Round - GiveWheel

Pegasus Round

I am a former Paratrooper and will turn 50 this summer. To 'celebrate' I will attempt to break the record for rowing around Great Britain.

Half a lifetime ago, as a 25-year-old Parachute Regiment platoon commander, I was wounded in action during a hostage rescue in Sierra Leone but made a full recovery and subsequently went on to have the privilege of commanding paratroopers on operations in Iraq. Not all my former brothers in arms were so fortunate - and that's why I'm looking to you to help me raise funds for SUPPORT OUR PARAS. Given the nature of the challenge I will also be raising funds for the RNLI.

SUPPORT OUR PARAS is the only charity which exists solely to support The Parachute Regiment and Airborne Forces, looking after veterans, serving soldiers and families within our Airborne community. They are there for our nation’s paratroopers through the good times and the bad; from the moment they join the Airborne family to the sounding of the last post.

The RNLI needs no introduction for most people - they save lives at sea. I'm actively engaged with my local RNLI crews here in Newhaven - and I'm keen to support their vital work through Pegasus Round fundraising too.

Please give whatever you can.
