Thank you very much for visiting our fundraising page. We (Si, Jen, Paddy and Rachel) are taking part in the British 10K London Run on 6 July for a very worthy charity, Combat Stress. Combat Stress: Combat Stress (The Ex-Services Mental Welfare Society), exists to serve the men and women of our armed forces who have been profoundly traumatised by harrowing experiences on active duty. For over 80 years, Combat Stress have been the only services charity specialising in helping those of all ranks from the Armed Forces and the Merchant Navy suffering from psychological disability as a result of their service. Through their national network of welfare officers, they visit veterans at home in order to establish how best we can improve their quality of life. Through their three treatment centres, they provide rehabilitative treatment which aims to help the victim cope with his or her disabilities and to enjoy a better quality of life. In over 80 years of operation, the Society has provided some 75,000 veterans of the two World Wars and the many conflicts since with a unique lifeline. Currently, the Society takes about 700 veterans onto its books each year, the youngest in their early twenties, the oldest in their nineties. There are people in receipt of help who between them represent service in every campaign which the British Armed services has been engaged from the start of World War 2 to the present day.
