Oosterbeck Trek 3 Sept - Annual Airborne March in support of AT

Mrs Naomi Whittaker, Michael Vallance and His Wife are leading a party of British trekkers to Oosterbeek in September this year to complete the annual Airborne March on Saturday 3rd September. This trek has been held for over sixty years now and details can be found on the website www.airbornewandeltocht.nl

They are taking a party of approximately twenty walkers to complete the various battlefield trek routes offered by this challenge, from 10km to 42km. They have raised over £25,000 in the past 3 years for ABF The Soldiers Charity and Help for Heroes from completing this and other walking challenges - please see http://www.justgiving.com/Michael-Vallance for an example of what we raised last year for the ABF (They raised a similar amount for H4H, raising well over £5k in aggregate).

This year they would like to make The Afghanistan Trust the sole benefit charity for our trek challenge. They would specifically like to donate the monies raised by the group this year in loving memory of Private Joe Whittaker and Private Conrad Lewis, both of 4 PARA, attached to 2 PARA and 3 PARA respectively.
