Operation: AT25

BLUF:

Two Army Cadet CFAV's pledge to get fitter and lose weight in order to raise awareness of The Ulysses Trust and hopefully raise some money to help pay for a Cadet's Adventurous Training pursuits. With a comedic twist...

The Story:

Two Army Cadet instructors, Thomas (SSI Cleverley) & Owen (SI Gardner) were helping supervise LNR ACF's Annual Camp Adventurous Training Package when a discussion was struck about how they wished they were fit enough to take part in the activities and how much it would benefit the cadets to have the instructors take part and build even further memories.

At this point, a pact was made, with the gesture of a hand-shake agreement, that Operation: AT25 was going ahead....

What is Operation: AT25?

Operation: AT25 was the nickname Thomas & Owen jokingly called their weight loss idea... Dedicating a year to self-improvement so they could, in turn, make the Army Cadets a more enjoyable experience for the cadets by being able to share in some life-long memories, alongside them. The idea is simple... Surf through the embarrassment of their weight gain over numerous years, and come together for a common goal of a healthier weight by Annual Camp 2025 finishing the story with Thomas & Owen taking part in (some of) the Adventurous Training Package on LNR ACF's Annual Camp 2025. The main aim, to raise money for The Ulysses Trust, alongside their own personal development, so that TUT can continue their amazing work helping the less fortunate take part in AT activities via funding.

Additional:

They will challenge themselves to achieve a goal, to simply lose as much weight as possible, while being controlled so it doesn't become dangerous for either person. Their end objective, is to raise money for The Ulysses Trust, which you can see more information on the following link:

Pictures will be shared and a story will be told via their Facebook Page & GiveAsYouLive page every week, with a big update coming monthly. We hope you support Thomas & Owen during their journey, as they have pledged to put everything they can into this story. There will be continual updates on their progress, and every achievement, embarrassing moment and disaster will be shown via their story.

The ultimate goal is £500.00, and with your help this can become a reality. - Please do not give more than you can afford, times are tough for everyone, but every donation and share on social media is worth more than anything else.

Thanks for reading, it's greatly appreciated.

All the best,
Thomas & Owen
