ShinyCapstar Online Auction - in aid of the LCpl Simon Wiggins Appeal
19 Jan 09

Over the last couple of months the Battalion have been busy trying to raise money for LCpl Simon Wiggins who lost his leg during the Battalion's tour of Afghanistan last year.  To date there have been thousands of people that have helped in the aim to try and raise enough money to purchase a specially adapted car to help LCpl Wiggins in his day to day life and become less dependant on family and friends.

The 'major' fundraising events for this appeal have been the 3 Peaks Challenge and the Hougoumont or Bust Challenge.  All of these challenges have involved friends and comrades of LCpl Wiggins taking part in mammoth challenges that put their physical and mental abilities to the ultimate test.

All of the challenges are now complete and amounts and cheques are being consolidated to give a final amount (this will follow very shortly), but we have one last even - AN AUCTION for a truly magnificent item.

The auction is for a Coldstream Silver Statue, kindly donated by Carrington's (so you know that the item is quality)!
