Story
I’m kayaking from Liverpool to London, inland of 280 miles, with a small support team, in August 2021. The memorial is to be built at the National Memorial Arboretum (NMA). This will consist of a memorial and 3 QR codes, one for each service. Each remembered Veteran will therefore be on a digital list with their own bio. This is for all those friends that we have lost, from the Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force, to suicide, after they have left their respective service.

I have served 26 yrs in the Army and lost too many friends to suicide. I want to remember them in the same way that if they had died during their service, with a memorial.
