We send our congratulations to Robert Eales today, who hasso far managed to raise £1,180 from his 26.2 mile London Marathon run back in April this year.
Rob, who was running on behalf of the ‘Help for Heroes’ charity, managed to complete the 
gruelling race in a remarkable 4 hours and 19 minutes. He selected this charity because of his personal experiences from serving within the British armed forces.
Epping lad Rob signed-up to join the Army in 1994, at the age of 15. By 16, he was a Rifleman with the Royal Green Jacket Regiment and eventually, he was sent on tours of duty to Kosovo and Bosnia. By the end of 2002, Rob had left the Army after 6 year’s service and he now works as a fireman, based at Stansted Airport.
The money Rob has raised will be spent on a swimming pool and gym complex at the tri-service (army, navy and air force) rehabilitation centre, Headley Court near Leatherhead in Surrey, which is due to be completed in January 2010. For more information about the project, please click here.
