Story

On 3 June 2012, my husband Pte Gregg Stone was killed in action whilst serving with 3rd Battalion The Yorkshire Regiment in Afghanistan's Helmand Province, aged just 20. This May I walk the 274 miles from where Gregg began his training with the British Army in Catterick Garrison, to the home of his regiment in the Wiltshire town of Warminster, exactly a year on from his death. Warminster was not just the home of his regiment it became a home to us where we had enjoyed our life together. Accompanying me on this journey will be family, friends, Gregg's comrades and our four month old daughter Grace, the daughter Gregg never had chance to meet.

As the country looks to the withdrawal of British combat troops in 2014, this is a chance to remember Gregg and the 440 others like him who have given their lives in service in Afghanistan, and the thousands who face life changing injuries.

If you would like to show you support for this cause in memory of an amazing man please share.

Anyone who wishes to join me on this journey please do. The journey will take 11 days and your support on any day will make a difference.
