The Mumbles Month (2) · 1 January 2014

The UK's leading charity for veterans' mental health. For over a century, we've helped former servicemen and women deal with issues like trauma, anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Today, we provide support to veterans from every service and every conflict.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This will be the 2nd year that I am raising money for Combat Stress By cycling to the Mumbles Pier and back from my house every day in January. (Around 480 miles in total)

The challenges faced by our boys when they return from the frontline are many.

Depression and PTSD often get bottled up, sometimes resulting in suicide.

Once discharged from the forces, veterans are put back under the care of the NHS. Invariably, the expert care required to treat complex mental health issues is not widely available on the NHS.

This is where Combat Stress comes in.

I genuinely believe that they have saved the lives of many veterans who simply would not have been able to cope without the help and support they have provided.

I know money is tight right now, particularly just after Christmas but if you could just forgoe one pint of beer at some point through January you will be doing yourself some good and helping a fantastic cause.
