Operation Elysium · 17 August 2021

Weʼre raising funds to build the UK’s 1st memorial solely dedicated to Veterans suicide and their families after service life. For all veterans from the Royal Navy, Army and Royal Airforce. The memorial will be built at the National Memorial Arboretum, Staffordshire, the most fitting place.

Story

As my initial fundraiser, I‘m kayaking from Liverpool (Preston Brook) to London (Putney Bridge), inland of 280 miles. Using the canals and river Thames, with a small support team, 17th to 30th August 2021. The memorial is to be built at the National Memorial Arboretum (NMA).

I have spent the last 27 years in the Army and have lost a lot of friends, 17 to suicide alone.
