Story
THIS IS A CALL TO ACTION...... "BEEN THE BEST"
We need your support and help....
We are doing the leg work...
Veterans all across the country are suffering in silence. We have recognised that the main problem is the TRANSITION. The time between leaving the military and becoming a civilian.
I must highlight here that not all Veterans have mental Issues, although a lot do, but even those that don't suffer, will at some point during this period.
Between the three Veteran riders, we have LOST over 30 years trying to adjust to civilian life. THIS HAS TO STOP AND NO ONE SHOULD GO THROUGH THIS!!!!!!! Its a loss of purpose, the constant search of internal credibility, a reason for why we are here! GONE....
All to often the Veteran community are leaving the military and just getting left to their own devices. Going from full structure to NOTHING and feeling abandoned. Its damn hard to adjust..
We aim to really make people aware that this does not have to be the case, that we are great in numbers and we are still strong and worth while.
There are to many people suffering in silence, because of a lack of understanding and knowledge about where to get help, be it official lines or just calling on the community we once knew.
On the 25th of June we are aiming to cycle over 1000 miles (unaided and untrained, using nothing but the military mindset we worked so hard to earn and donations from the Great British Public) visiting Veterans and Serving soldiers on the way to talk about and showcase their highs and lows in business and in life. We will be live streaming and filming this whole adventure so everyone can see how wide and far the community spreads.
It will highlight, struggles, wins and give people a sense of belonging again - we will be telling everyone - YOU ARE NOT ALONE - young and old.
We also really want to raise some much needed funds for those who have slipped through the net and are in desperate need of ALL of our help. Hence why we are here. We need YOUR help...
The Around the country in 80 coffees challenge is not only a great chance for us to support those who need it, its an opportunity for the great British public to rise up and rally around those who need our help so bad. To many suffer just by simply not knowing or understanding!! THIS CAN NOT BE ALLOWED TO HAPPEN...
The challenge is going to be led by three Veterans that have NEVER MET, have had their own successes and believe in the same cause.
United we will succeed.
The British Military have not had success in this area, the British Government have not either, so it is up to US to step up to plate and really make a difference.
All and anything you can do to support us on this journey is simply OUTSTANDING!!
If you want to join us for a leg and cycle, please please do.
if you want to host us or feed us please please do,
If you want to run an event to raise money please do. A coffee morning perhaps..
Please help and lets stop fighting fire, lets stop the fire even starting.
This is from donations only don't forget. If we don't get donations, we will be sleeping under the stars!!
This is growing daily, we have all the news and press involved...
PLEASE DONATE WHAT YOU CAN.
My deepest fear is that one more person has to go through the same transition that I did........
