RAF Flight Lieutenant Rachael Cadman, who is attempting to complete the Arch to Arc triathlon, has paid her respects to fallen soldiers by stopping off at a memorial.<\/p>\n
Ms Cadman is participating in the Enduroman challenge that has only ever been completed by seven people and she has already run 87 miles from London to Dover.<\/p>\n
In an update from the RAF published yesterday (August 22nd), she had swum three-quarters of the way across the English Channel, but before leaving the UK she called at the Battle of Britain Memorial close to Folkestone.<\/p>\n
"I had always intended to stop at the memorial for a time, I am an RAF officer and could not have missed the chance to pause a while in such an important place," Ms Cadman said.<\/p>\n
She claimed this move was "entirely fitting", given that she is aiming to raise money for Help for Heroes and Shelter Box international disaster relief by participating in the triathlon.<\/p>\n
