I am raising vital funds for life-changing mental health treatment for veterans.
7 and a half years ago I joined the Royal Navy. Since qualifying I have been privileged to serve as a Navigating Officer for the last 5 years on board Mine Hunters and Air Defence Destroyers. On board these Ships I have been deployed all over the world on operations ranging from counter-piracy, prevention of conventional weapons smuggling and anti-mining. Most recently I was deployed for a short stint in HMS DIAMOND operating in the Red Sea and defending civilian shipping from Houthi attacks. Whilst I was only on board for a few months I was blown away by professionalism of the Ship’s company whilst under immense operational pressure.
I now have only two months left of my time in the Navy and wish to use that time to raise money for Combat Stress- a charity close to my heart. My father was on the board of trustees of Combat Stress, and was fiercely committed to supporting the exceptional and impactful work that they do right up until his death in 2019.
As a serving member of the Royal Navy I've come to appreciate more and more the vital role that Combat Stress plays as a support system for veterans in need. I feel privileged to be raising money for a charity which has supported, and will go on to support, the truly exceptional sailors I have served with. I'm truly grateful for any of you who will support me.
To motive donations to Combat Stress I intend to walk from the Ministry of Defence in Whitehall to HMNB Portsmouth (130km) over the course of 4 days. Whilst I spent the majority of my time serving on Portsmouth based Ships, I was fortunate to spend a year working in MOD Main Building with the Oversea Crisis and Plans team. This walk will tie together the two different aspects of my career and hopefully raise some money for a great cause!
