On June 16th Charlie is taking part in a 12 hour sparathon organised by Dorchester Martial Arts ... That's 12 hours of continuous Muay Thai and Brazilian ju jitsu to raise money, hopefully £2000 altogether to support the running of a Veterans hub in Weymouth.

"When people come out of the armed forces, especially if they've been in the armed forces for a long time and they've been deployed to places like Iraq, Afghanistan and Northern Ireland there are adjustment issues. Its really hard to settle into civilian life. You find that people start to slowly fall apart, their lives unravel and family units fall apart. There's not enough support out there for guys and girls who are suffering from mental health problems."

The Veterans Hub will provide support for our veterans locally. Check out their Facebook page to see the great work they are already doing veteranshubweymouth
