Former Royal Marine

OK I’ve done something a little bit stupid and need your help! (I do this quite often)

I’ve entered an 11 day car rally across Europe to raise money for Armed Forces charity @SSAFA

The problem is… I don’t have a car!

Well technically I do, but if I use mine I’ll exceed my contracted mileage so I need a loaner.

If anyone out there is in the industry or knows a dealership that can help out please email me at: [email protected]

There’s a whole sponsorship and PR package that comes along with it so I’m not just after a freebie 🙏🏻 🚗 🙏🏻

More details about the event can be found here:

Marine Divid Marsh, killed 30/03/2008 in Afghanistan

Don’t let the smile fool you, the cheeky little git used to lift the windscreen wipers up on my car every time he was home on leave and he walked past my house as a “hello I’m back” 🤣

Rest easy gentlemen 🫡🫡

13 years ago today, we lost Sgt Baz Weston. Baz was fatally injured by an improvised explosive device while leading a patrol operating near the village of Sukmanda in southern Nahr-e Saraj district Helmand province. 

The patrol was participating in an operation to draw insurgents away from the civilian population in order to disrupt their activity and further expand the influence of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan.

Gone but not forgotten Royal (cheers for the thrashings when you were on my training team!)

I’d love if you could take 2 minutes and read this thread of what I’ll be doing next month and even give it a RT please.

So…

running has been a big part of my recovery and there is a chance for you to get involved in a running challenge I’m doing.

Brentford yesterday did anyone else get their wallet searched? Really bizarre didn't even frisk me for anything else.

Very sad to hear CSgt Alfie Bass Royal Marines crossed the bar 9 Apr. He was the Armoury CSgt when I joined in '85 and was always approachable and great fun at zero double bubble as you drew your weapon - sometimes in rig sometimes in Ron Hills 😁 #RIPRoyal #StandEasy

Saddened to hear two former Royal Marines, John Chapman & James Henderson were killed as part of the incident involving the aid convoy yesterday. Our thoughts are with all families of those effected and we send our condolences to John and James' family and friends. RIP Royals.
