Pilgrim Bandits know that adversity, challenges and obstacles serve to strengthen the human spirit. But for some of those we support, just to smile or enjoy the company of others, is an almost insurmountable task. We endeavour to get them to believe in a life worth living again. Through Pilgrim Bandits they push to new limits. They help others. They inspire children and young people by working with schools and care centers. Some say that we are a charity, we say were a charitable force.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Since getting blown up in Iraq in 2011, losing an arm, an eye and suffering a very serious brain injury, I have undergone intensive rehabilitation and over 70 surgical procedures  I spent 3 months in a coma, and medical experts said I may never walk again but as a paratrooper I decided that this was a challenge I would take on head first.

Now that I have proved them wrong, it’s time for me to support the charitable organisations that have helped me during  my rehab.

Whilst I am still unable to run due to my brain injury, my fiancé and I will be walking the route in support of Pilgrim Bandits, Support Our Paras and the Tyneside branch of the Parachute Regimental Association.
