Ru & Flis 10Km for Welsh Guards Afghan Appeal
Flis and I are running the Leeds 10Km 'Run For All' on Sunday 4th July to raise money for the Welsh Guards Afghanistan Appeal. The Afghanistan Appeal was set up to raise funds for Welsh Guardsmen wounded in action and their families, as well as supporting the families of those who have been killed doing their duty. The effect of the conflict upon the lives of our young soldiers is huge and the loss suffered by families can be devastating. The Afghanistan Appeal provides a vital source of help and resource in supporting the soldiers and families who need it most.
The event is a run on a challenging course and we have set ourselves target times of 38 mins (Ru) and 55 mins (Flis) in order to push ourselves as hard as possible.
Your donations will be gratefully received and will make a big difference to this fantastic cause! Thank you!
