I was, once upon a time a Royal Marine and I am a veteran of the Falklands War with first hand experience of the lasting impact of armed conflict. I myself have really struggled at times to cope with the emotional aftermath of that time. I have been lucky enough to live in a country that has provided me with the support I needed. Many many children are not so fortunate, my walk is for them.
