Story
We are raising much needed funds and awareness for veterans welfare and support. We will be tabbing/yomping Reading Half Marathon carrying a similar amount of weight as we did whilst on operations in Afghanistan. Myself (Patch) and Jason Benbow did the half marathon on 7th of November 2021. This time we shall be joined Robin Killingsworth and Geoff Green, both are also veterans who have done tours of duty which include the recent conflict of Afghanistan.
Boots on the ground are a grass routes veterans charity that seek to support veterans to receive treatment for PTSD and also assist in any physical needs that may arise due to difficulties they may come up against.
The leg up project (CIC) is a community project that was set up by Kev Bland. The leg up projects aim is to tackle poor physical and mental health in men. It achieves this by offering packages such as 28 days later, which aims to change mindset and behaviour.
Patch's story
At the start of 2021 patch had suffered a massive decline in his mental health, which ended up with him nearly ending his own life. Jay Benbo; boots on the ground (along with a few other select veterans) intervened and got Patch the help desperately needed. once Patch had received treat from PTSD resolution, he was introduced to Kev Bland and The Leg Up Project, the project has seen Patch go from strength under their support; with them helping him to access courses such as FREC 3 and FREC 4 as well as their own 28 days later package. Patch is now back working in the vocation he trained to be in and has found the love and passion for it again, he is busy working as a Medic in the private sector and is in the process of setting up his own private medical company (Top Cover Medics) with the support of both Boots on The Ground and The Leg Up Project. In addition to this Patch is the primary medic for The Leg Up Project and a core member of the project. This amazing turn around happened in just 12 months!!!
Let us now help other veterans and men in need just like Patch. The money raised will be split equally between both charities.
