Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. Between 1988 and 1996, I served with 1st Btn Queens Own Highlanders, I was then employed by a local fuel distribution company before becoming a Paramedic with the Scottish Ambulance Service in 2009.

During my time as a Paramedic I have attended veterans who worked at Bletchley Park, the Women's Land Army, the Italian Campaign, more recent conflicts and currently serving members of the Armed Forces.

THE CHALLENGE

A round trip from Forres to Greece via France, Switzerland, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro and Albania on my motorbike, a Yamaha Tenere 700 World Raid with nothing more than a serving soldier would carry - a tent, stove, a few tools and minimal clothing. The trip will take me over tarmac, gravel roads and tracks, covering almost 7,000 miles over a six week period.

THE CHARITY

The Erskine Veterans Activity Centre North (EVAC North) in Forres is a hub for Veterans in the North of Scotland, offering essential resources, peer support, and tailored well-being programmes designed to address the unique challenges faced by Veterans. The centre provides a welcoming environment where Veterans of all ages can connect with one another, learn new skills, and find renewed purpose in their lives after service.

ALL MONEY RAISED WILL GO TO THE CHARITY
