Scott Coulter Support and Fund raising for AT
Dear Sirs,
Firstly I would like to extend my deepest thanks to your wonderful charity, for the continued excellent work you do to provide help and support for our brave Paras.
I first came across your charity in most unfortunate circumstances. A close friend of mine, Scott Meenagh, was a young Para serving in Afghanistan during the period of late 2010/ Early 2011. Tragically, in late January 2011 Scott was injured in a roadside bomb explosion that claimed the life of his comrade, Martin Bell.
Scott was badly injured in the blast; losing both his legs just above the knee and suffering sever injuries to his stomach. Thankfully, he is recovering well and spent a most enjoyable weekend with his mates last week after leaving hospital for the first time.
The response from his friends and our local area has been phenomenal. So far, we have organised race nights, quiz nights, danceathons and sponsored football/rugby matches to raise funds for the family in this difficult time. At last count, almost £9,000 had been raised.
While this has made a huge difference to Scott and his family’s life, I would like to do something for the Afghanistan Trust to show my support for the whole Parachute regiment.
I will be running the Glasgow men’s 10k on June 19th in honour of the charity. My employers at Barclays Wealth have already agreed to match whatever sponsor money I raise, which I have already began collecting.
