Andy said: “I decided to complete a Red Bull 400, running up a ski jump in Planica, Slovenia to represent her uphill battle. It’s a 400m run up a ski jump with a 37 degree incline and a 202m elevation, which I ran on Saturday the 15th September.
“I have been crowdfunding since June and held two fundraising nights, one for Servicemen Awaiting Trade Training (SATTs) on 8 August and a sports quiz and raffle for all ranks on the 13th Sep at the Junior Ranks Bar. Prizes included: England Football tickets; Go Ape tickets and vouchers from The Works; Haringtons; Sanctum Spiritus; Kings Farm Shop; Nando’s; GBK; Pets Corner; Cross Cuts Barbers, Red Gents Barbers, all donated locally. The grand total raised from these two nights plus an Recruit Training Squadron Bake Sale was over £1500.
