    Story

    I'll be running the Edinburgh half marathon in aid of a charity - set up by my old man - called Sadaya. Having suffered with PTSD himself as a veteran the charity was founded to combat mental health issues within the veteran community. Sadaya is a Scottish registered charity that runs various projects around the country.

    the money raised will fund a retreat that aids veterans of the British forces that suffer with mental health issues such as PTSD & depression. On average an ex armed forces member commits suicide every 2 weeks. One of the problems veterans face is isolation. It leads to depression and a sense of worthlessness, leading to thoughts, attempts and finally the committing of suicide.

    The full and working retreat takes people from isolation, gives them a sense of giving back, self worth, and grounding. Once grounded the group can then engage in meditation with a view to settling the mind. Once this achieved then self-compassion and forgiveness can be tackled.

    Sadaya - 'peace & health for military & service personnel'
