Gibbo Receives Admirals Commendation
A Commendation Award was presented today to Petty Officer Andy Gibbs (Royal Navy) by Commodore Bruce Belliveau (Canadian Navy, MC Northwood Deputy Chief of Staff Operations).
Since he arrived in Northwood, PO Gibbs has dedicated a significant part of his spare time to collecting funds for the “Help for Heroes” charity. PO Gibbs helped raise over £70,000 to support members of the Armed Forces who have been wounded in the line of duty.
To reach this figure, he collected money in central London and walked 168 miles between Wembley and Cardiff for the Wales v. England football match. During the HQ’s weekly brief, Commodore Belliveau took the opportunity to express NATO’s appreciation for the dedication and selflessness shown by PO Gibbs.
Despite this huge amount of money and the time he has dedicated to the Help For Heroes Charity he is still continuing to push himself to raise even more. He will be walking back from Cardiff to Wembley for the return match in September this year.
Good Luck and Well Done!!
