I have a small furry friend who is embarking on a big adventure travelling the world, his intention is to visit as many naval, military and airforce units he can in the next six months. His aim is to raise as much money as he can for Help for Heros.
I hope that site members won't take any offence by my posting this link to the just giving web page.
I would welcome PMs or emails from any serving personnel who want to have their unit take part in the photographic operation, all that is required is an in situ photo which I will post on a flickr or similar site as evidence to support his trip.
Thanks
Steve

Teddy is on his way to a secret location in the Gulf and he has raised nearly £90 in one day, cant wait to see how much is there at the end of six months!

Thanks geoff, very much appreciated, Teddy is currently somewhere between Mill Hill and a ship on anti piracy patrols in the Gulf!
Just a quick note to avid followers, because Teddy is being sent from one deployed unit to another via BFPO and is under 2kg most of the time the postage will be free!

Steve,
I should be able to get him signed on to some UK RAF Camps and maybe some less savoury places...
