Story
A big thank you to everyone who sponsored me I completed the Paris Marathon in - 4 hours 13 mins 21 secs
It got really tough at around the 20 mile mark but knowing who I was running for and that people had sponsored me kept me going and helped me to the end
Thank you all again (I may do another)
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I am an ex soldier having served 12 years in the Royal Signals. During my service there were very few specialist facilities to deal with the trauma and aftermath of wars, so now our brave forces are fighting in more and more conflicts with very little respite between deployments the need for such facilities is paramount. It is not just the people who are physically injured that need our help it is the people who are scarred on the inside too.
I am running the Paris Marathon and I am raising money for Help 4 Heroes and Combat Stress
Help 4 heroes are planning to create a series of regional Recovery Houses to be built across the UK and serve as the last stage of rehabilitation before a serviceman, or woman, returns to their unit or transits back into civilian life
Combat Stress the charity that helps veterans with mental wounds, are planning the expansion, modernisation and reorganisation of their specialist treatment centre, Tyrwhitt House in Surrey, in order to accommodate more Veterans including carers and to provide uprated clinical and welfare working space
