Hi people, not sure if this is the right place for this, mods please move it if not.
My OC, Major Al Jarvis RE, has just completed a marathon, here in Helmand Province, Afghanistan. He started a 0500 and has just finished at 1100, not only is it red hot here, but he did it wearing his Osprey body armour which weighs in at 33lb!
I just did the last 6 miles, (without the Osprey) and I am HOT.
Why am I telling you this?
It's for charity, the Army Benevolent Fund to be precise and, if you like, you can donate money to this very good cause at;
