Enginesucks Afghanistan Challenge

[enginesuck]

Hello fellow goaters,

Ive just arrived in sunny Kandahar and im about to take on a challenge raising money for the RAF Benevloent fund, im aiming for £2000. I plan to cover 1000 km on cardio machines over the duration of my deployment, in addition to this i will lift free weights totaling 168000 kg - the equivalent of 8 fully fuelled Tornado GR4 a/c. For those of you who know me, you will understand this represents a considerable challenge to me ; i am not your average sport billy (as my previous P1 record will attest) Please bear in mind this challenge will mean i have to cover 10Km per day and shift 1.68 tonnes per day to reach my target. This will be in addition to 12 hour shifts on the flight line. I have a small number of days built in to my schedule to allow for injury or operational distraction.

Please view my Just giving page and donate what ever you can, i will update this thread regularly to let you know my progress. Thank you.

Will you be wearing a respirator? If so I could be tempted.....

Good for you;
A process of a modest contribution is started (I have trouble with Just Giving).
But it will get there, mate.

 

[rest have risen above me]

I would sponsor you but I seem to remember that you would sprint 10km at the mere whiff of a Ginsters and your lunchbox was only slightly less than 168000 kgs.

I'll sort the dosh out if you do it mate. Be careful though last time you did that tour, you left two thirds of yourself out there...

Keep safe....
