Fund Raising:
Although this event was not set out to be solely a Fund Raising Event, I know for a fact people would like to show appreciation to my Dad, for his service and also chip in to me as a way of showing their support.
I was not even going to set a target, but after Dad died, I wanted to make sure that this journey had real meaning and therefore Ive set a target of £6644 to reflect on the day that changed our lives in so many ways 6.6.44 – D-DAY.
Support Our Paras was the obvious choice as a beneficiary of any kind donations, and regardless of their fantastic work they do with Parachute Regiment Veterans, they also attended Dad’s funeral with members of 4 PARA, the Parachute Regiment Association, Standard Bearers and a Bugler, as well as serving members of my Dad’s company – The PathFinders.
For that alone I cannot thank them enough.
