Apologies if this has already been posted but I'm surprised that this event has not had more publicity to date.
Former Chinook crewman Ben Greer is part way through a challenge to walk a mile for every serviceman killed in Afghanistan carrying the weight of a serviceman with kit; that amounts to 440 miles carrying a 100kg pack. Regrettably events in Afghanistan , and Woolwich, mean that Ben will now walk an extra 4 miles. The website will soon reflect an extra leg at Brize Norton on 16 July.
The challenge is as much about raising awareness as raising cash and I would urge you to support forthcoming events in any way you can as the challenge reaches its climax.
