Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On April 22 2012 I ran the London Marathon for the second time. I ran the Grim challenge for the 4th time in Dec 2012 and in Oct 2013 the basingstoke Half Marathon. For all of these runs I have proudly been sponsoring Combat Stress. Read below to see a little of what they do.

Combat Stress provides a dedicated service for Veterans whose mental health condition is often complex and long term. This service is NOT routinely available in the NHS or elsewhere.

A small, but significant, number of Veterans leave the Armed Forces with a severe psychological wound such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).  A symptom of PTSD is the frequent tendency to recall life-threatening incidents, which can lead to day and night terrors, mood swings, panic attacks and phobias.

To find out more how Combat Stress work and how they help, please visit their website at http://www.combatstress.org.uk/pages/about_us.html.

This is where Combat Stress steps up to the mark and helps those who have helped us. As an ex soldier myself, I understand the need for a charity like this and that is why I have chosen to all the races I do, for Combat Stress.

I would like to thank all those who have donated to this great cause already, every penny has gone to help someone in need.
