We need your help in supporting our Veterans and making a real difference. It's something I've been doing for years, after getting help myself (steve) back in 2007/8 after my ptsd had ripped my life apart, I was made homeless, out of work and crippled with debt, illness, depression and a black cloud hanging over me. I needed a way through the hurt.

I found a sense of purpose in giving back, helping others through the hard times filled my heart with goodness. Becoming a veteran is hard, harder than many admit. But for those of us who can, it really is a must.

We must stand together now more than ever to do what is possible, what is necessary to work alongside our armed forces community to better one another's experience of gaining back the ground in life after trauma and mental health impacts us.

That's why I've partnered with another brother (scott), a warrior in his heart who teaches and trains young minds to fight with passion and honour at Kingswells Amateur Boxing Club, a man whom I call friend.🥊

We're both in our 40s, and have backs and knees like 70 year old men, but we are going to walk the walk, literally.

Walking from the most westerly point of Scotland to the most easterly point, 217 miles in ten days, wild camping every night... all to raise funds for our beloved Erskine a vetrans charity Which will go to helping our warriors who are now at home and need some help.

We ask for your loving kindness and to put a couple pennies into the page where it will go to helping those who need it most.

Our boys and girls who've came home to yet another war. A silent battle. Well let's put some noise into the mix, and remind them.

We stand together!
