Story

Huge thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!!!!

In May 2012 myself and Nat will be attempting to cycle unaided from John O'Groats to Lands End. Our aim is to complete this in 11 days and we hope that all our blisters and sore muscles will raise a massive amount for charity!!

My chosen charity is one that is particularly close to my heart! I used to have fun training with Birmingham University Officer Training Corps and know many individuals currently serving in the armed forces. In addition, my partner served in the Army Air Corps for over 5 years, including a tour in Afghanistan! I also have a passion for Psychology, which is my chosen career path! This is why Combat Stress was an easy choice of charity-combining two things that are really important to me!

Combat Stress is the UK's leading military charity specialising in the care of Veteran's mental health. They look after men and women who are suffering from a psychological condition related to their service career. This may be depression, anxiety, a phobia or PTSD. This service is NOT routinely avilable on the NHS.
