Help for Heroes Events

Kate Johnson is hoping to raise over £5,000 for H4H as she tackles the two highest mountains in the world, takes to the sea in a 46ft racing yacht, skydives with the Red Devils and much more....

About Kate

Kate says "I'm neither sporty or fit (yet) so this REALLY is going to be a personal challenge....one I think is worth every painful second, to support our troops, the guys and girls that don't get a say in where they go or what personal challenges they have to face, risking their lives so that we can live ours freely.

"To help me achieve this I have enlisted the help of a Royal Marines Commando who is going to whip me into tip top physical shape in no time ....it’s going to be an interesting year!"
