The annual Station Fit4Life day event took place at the RAF SofPT on Wed 29 Jul 26.

The event was organised by SofPT Cpls’ Connor Grant and Jason Kernohan who brought together elements from across the unit and external presenters to provide a focussed health and wellbeing day for all staff, trainees and families at Cosford.

Personnel were able to try out new activities such as kayaking, golf, fencing and Brazilian Ju Jitsu as well as seek health and wellness advice from experts.

As well as the opportunity to showcase the wide and varied activities available to all at Cosford, the event also raised funds for the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital-based Lingen Davies Cancer Fund charity through a series of fitness and sports challenges, prize raffles and a hugely popular cake sale organised by Mrs Steph Bell from the SofPT planning office.

Overall, an amazing total of £2169.43 was raised for the cancer charity from events on the day and challenges run throughout July 26.
