The reason I have chosen Help for Heroes is because they played a huge part in my recovery. This ranged from financial, mental and clinical services that paved the way for me to recover from the physical and mental health issues I’ve had to deal with. I have went through physical injuries, alcoholism and then also been diagnosed with PTSD. 

The reason I’m completing a firewalk is I’m symbolising the stretcher bearers who bring the wounded out of the battlefield. I want to raise as much as possible for Help for Heroes to give back to them as a Thank You for the help they’ve given me. 

Every day, men and women have to leave their career in the Armed Forces as a result of physical or psychological wounds. Your fundraising helps them recover and get on with their lives. So far we've supported more than 25,000 people and won’t stop until every veteran gets the support they deserve
