Support our D-Day Challenge

We will be taking on the D-Day Challenge to raise funds for life-changing mental health treatment for veterans.

The D-Day 44 Challenge commemorates the 1944 Allied invasion of occupied France. I will be heading to Normandy, to race across its historic beaches, finishing at the Pegasus Bridge on the 80th anniversary of D-Day, 6 June 2024.

Combat Stress is the UK's leading charity for veterans' mental health. One of the team members completing the challenge, Russ, suffered from PTSD after serving in Iraq and Afghanistan in 2006. Combat Stress were instrumental with helping him recover and adjust to civilian life.

Thank you so much for your support.
