3 events, 3 days, 3 charities

Hi, my name is Oscar , I am 15 years old . When I leave school, I want to join the Royal Marines ; to protect and serve my country.

 

I am challenging myself now in preparation for this, due to the very nature of what being a marine stands for, which is facing adversity, physical and mental as well as to help and inspire others.

My inspiration was due to myself and my siblings losing our father to terminal Non Hodgkin Lymphoma on the 23.03.2019, he was only 51 years old and myself and my siblings were very young to lose their father.
He was so poorly throughout his 20 month battle, however he fought to the very end with no complaints whatsoever, this was my driving force to never find excuses, to do or try anything, he is my inspiration to give every opportunity in life a go and always find a way to succeed no matter what.
He was due to receive a stem cell transplant due to all other chemotherapy methods failing however he became too unwell to receive it, this is my reason behind the fund raising for the Anthony Nolan charity.

My goal is to raise at least £1000 , which will be equally split between my 3 chosen charities.

 

I will be doing 3 events, these include:

 

1. SPARTANS race, this is a super 10km incorporating 25 difficult obstacles, against the clock - completed as of 31/10/21

 

2. Yorkshire 3 peaks challenge, this is a 24 mile hike. Up 3 well known mountains within the Yorkshire Dales , to be completed within 12 hours.

 

3. A skydive, which I will undertake around Easter time 2022, weather permitting.

 

Only being available on weekends, due to taking my GCSEs around this time, means that these will take place on 3 different, non-continuous days.

 

My 3 selected charities, that are close to my heart are:

 

1. Anthony Nolan, blood cancer charity for bone marrow and stem cell transplants.

 

2. Help for Heroes, to help wounded veterans and their families to recover and carry on with their lives

 

3. Guide Dogs UK, to help people with sight loss live the life they choose with the help of a four-legged friend

 

Please be generous in helping me achieve my goal: 3 events, 3 days, 3 charities.

 

Together we can make amazing things happen, please donate.
