Fundraising for Combat Stress
Story
Hello, thank you for visiting my page,
The past few years have seen me pounding the streets (and my knees!) in the hope of sponsorship for Combat Stress. So far everyone has stepped up to the plate magnificently and Combat Stress has been rewarded with phenomenally generous support. So, yet again I shall be hauling myself around the streets on Sunday 12 July at the London 10k in the hope to raise not only the profile of Combat Stress but a few pounds to assist in the sad avalanche of military personnel that so desperately need their help.
The exceptional and sadly essential work that Combat Stress do with our brave ex-servicemen and women is increasing at such an alarming rate, with current Operations in the Middle East, that Combat Stress will continue to be a critical, and all too often literal, life-line for many for years to come. Last year saw an unprecedented 26% increase of referrals and requests for help.
Regardless of the politics surrounding the Operations our Armed Forces have been committed to, the men and women serving the Crown deserve our respect and assistance when they need it most.
With your support behind me and my tenacity and enthusiasm to achieve these goals for Combat Stress please, please sponsor me; even a pound would be very gratefully received and put to excellent use by Combat Stress. Please take a moment to click on the logo below my photograph to find out more on the work of Combat Stress and how seriously PTSD can affect our gallant souls placing their lives on the line in our name every day. At the very least please click the link next to the Combat Stress logo to the left of this page and acquaint yourself with the charity.
A sobering fact: more Falklands veterans have committed suicide since the end of the war than were killed during the war. PTSD is every much an injury as the visible ones.
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: COMBAT STRESS will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
