Marching in March

Both my self and my mother are committing to walking 5k per day, everyday in March in order to raise funds for the amazing mental health charity C9 Foundation of which I am a new Trustee.

This is an extremely challenging goal for myself as someone that suffers from a lower limb disability, a chronic pain condition and depression. Thankfully my mum has decided to accompany me to help me and push me on during this challenge and to challenge herself. 

This is by far the biggest challenge I have taken on personally since my Injury during my time in the British Army. 

Why this challenge?

For me walking 5k per day is extremely challenging. This is why I have decided to do it. I am setting this goal for several reasons. 1. To challenge myself physically and mentally. 2. To help me lose weight. 3. I am hoping by setting a tough challenge it will lead to a significant sum of money being raised.

Why C9 Foundation?

As someone who has suffered from depression and anxiety for years, I spent a long time hiding it and suffering in silence. It wasn't until I became vocal about it on Social Media I realised how much speaking about my journey could help others. This has led me to working with the C9 Foundation first as a Patron and now as a Trustee of the Charity. 

What can you do to help?

Please help by donating to this cause. I understand that during this pandemic it may not be financially viable for some. If that is the case then please help by sharing this cause over social media and helping us get as much reach as possible. All sharing, commenting and liking on social media will be truly appreciated. 

Thanks 

Graeme and Karen
