PARAS 10
Back in September...
What a fantastic day! To tread those hallowed grounds was an honour and a privilege.
My feet are raw, my legs are dead and my energy levels are minimal however, I can’t take the smile off my face.
The whole event was first class, everybody who came to support me thoroughly enjoyed the whole day. The Red Devils were excellent....I see a tandem jump for the Afghanistan Trust on the horizon...
Although it was hell, I was brimming with pride from the start of the event and still now. The Paras made us feel so proud to be British. They are absolute "lions" and we can’t thank them enough for what they do out there.
My father had a tear in his eye on more than one occasion during the day. Meeting the Paras, the new recruits, the Red Devils and watching me tabbing round the course filled him with pride.
I think if I was few years younger, by the end of the day I would've signed up! Not sure what the wife would've made of that, after all, it was my second wedding anniversary yesterday and I spent it tabbing round Catterick.....Brilliant!
Finished the day with a 60ft jump from the Para Tower!
We have raised a total of £700 for The Afghanistan Trust and we are honoured to be able to give something back to the people who give so much to protect our future. The lads that served the regiment and our country deserve the best possible support available and it is a pleasure to be able to help in this way.
The training was hard, the tab was hell, but the pride never leaves you. We are coming back for more next year!
God bless our Paras!
