Walking the Fan Dance Route in the Brecon Beacons · 9 December 2023

Mark was a decorated officer in the UK Special Forces. He had tested himself in some of the most arduous environments. Life was frantic and dangerous, but it was what he had joined up to do. In the space of a few minutes all that was about to change. Mark suffered a major stroke whilst driving back from London that would lead him to be hospitalised for over a year. Thankfully with the help of his family, friends and some very supportive charities including Help for Heroes, Mark is now back on his feet again with a greater determination to help others who may be similarly affected. In 2016 and 2017, Mark was selected to take part in the Invictus Games, winning medals in swimming. Since then, he as dedicated himself to helping others. Mark established the Bowra Foundation in 2019, to inspire resilience amongst people suffering from neurological disorders through practical help and physical challenges alongside members of the Armed Forces community.

As a Veteran and stroke survivor, the work of the Bowra Foundation resonates strongly with me. So on December 9th I am going walk the ‘Fan Dance’ route – a testing military march over the Brecon Beacons. It’s 15 miles and I hope to raise £100 for each mile - £1500 in total. It’s not an official event, just something I am doing with my sons - as they are more tech savvy than me (!) we will track our progress on Strava to provide proof of completion.

I’d be hugely grateful if you could support my fundraising for such a fantastic organisation.

Many thanks,

Paul
