We've set ourselves a very ambitious fundraising target of £153,000 for the 2012/13 season. This includes both the amazing individual efforts of our fundraisers whose events are listed below, and the contributions from our London to Paris Cycle Challenge, and the British 10K London Run, both next summer.
Julian says, "I have recently completed Hadrians Wall, a challenge to raise awareness and funds for STUBS. I completed the journey, which is 84 miles over 3 and a half days. The weather was appalling, which made it a little tricky and I think I would have completed it in under 3 days had the rain and wind, plus chill factor not been so brutal. I may try it again next summer, walking from the west to try and better the time."
Congratulations to Debbie on completion of her first-ever half-marathon for
STUBS. Debbie works for Barclays and we'd like to thank them too for their
matched funding. Will your employer provide matched funding like Barclays and
BUPA? Could YOU do a fundraiser for STUBS please? If so, please get in touch!!
On a cold and cloudy Saturday in February this year Tanya Whittle, a Health Care Assistant at DMRC,
Headley Court working on the Neuro Rehab Unit, decided to do something challenging to support the injured patients that she nurses.
She says "I wanted to do something that took me out of my comfort zone and that was a way of raising money to support STUBS.
So I signed up with www.goskydive.com and set up a Just Giving page and managed to raise £705.
I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would recommend it to anybody thinking of doing something to support STUBS and our
injured service personnel at Headley Court.".

Sam Fountain and Jake Polmeer are taking the harder Machame route - some 62km over six days!! On the last day Jake will have to climb 5 km overnight in Artic conditions from Barafu Camp to Uhuru Peak in time for sunrise on the Roof Of Africa at 19,345ft, before dropping down a further 12km to the Mweka Hut.
Jake says "I'm raising money for STUBS as I work at DMRC Headley Court, and every day I work with the injured soldiers. I see just how much STUBS trips and events mean to them, and how it helps their rehabilitation. It gives our boys some well-deserved recognition!!"
Please give Jake your support. You can donate via Justgiving here!
