Many thanks for visiting this page :-)

PTSD UK is my fundraising focus for next month’s 25km Jurassic Coast Challenge. Why? Because this charity supports people who have PTSD, in the fight for their mental health.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) facts:

1 in 2 people experience trauma at some point in their life - and around 20% of those people go on to develop PTSD.

Anyone can develop PTSD at any age. This includes war veterans, children, and people who have been through a physical or sexual assault, abuse, death of a parent in childhood, accident, disaster, or other serious events.

Pandemic PTSD (healthcare workers and patients) – between a third and a half of people who had been ventilated in hospital as a result of Covid experienced symptoms of PTSD, along with 20% of staff working in intensive care.

PTSD UK is the only charity in the United Kingdom dedicated to raising awareness of post-traumatic stress disorder – no matter the trauma that caused it. Raising funds helps PTSD UK to continue the important work they are doing. Supporting people in the fight for their mental health.

If you are able to sponsor me – however small the amount – I would be really grateful. Please use this JustGiving page to donate, or contact me directly if you prefer :-)

Thanks so much for your kind support!
