It’s a proud day to see your books in a Library but here they are are being held by the Southport College Librarians. Heavens - it’s probably time I paid back that library fine from 1972…
A few months back saw me signing books at Nostel Priory in Wakefield where I was raising some money for British Legion and Ben Parkinson MBE & Shaun Clark were raising money for PILGRIM BANDITS (www.pilgrimbandits.org) a charity to help and inspire wounded soldiers to live life to the full.
Ben Parkinson MBE
Ben was and still is Britian’s most injured soldier. He was maimed 8 years ago in Afghanistan after being blown up when the Land Rover he was travelling in hit a landmine.
Ben now spends his days actively working on behalf of the soldiers' charity, Pilgrims Bandits. A service charity that helps other military personnel with similar injuries to his own.
Ben is not only an inspiration to us all but everyone else who has suffered war time injuries. Ben Parkinson is truly a national hero. He’s seen here swapping one of his t-shirts for a copy of Surrogate Fathers!
Shaun Clark (below) is another one of the unsung heroes who works tirelessly for the Pilgrim Bandits. Shaun recently took up the charity challenge to have every service persons name who died in Afghanistan tattooed on his body. Yes you read it right. All 400 of them. He is without doubt another ex serviceman whose desire to help his comrades will reach no bounds.
