Gower Peninsular Challenge - 10km/6.21mile walk - Blasted target walking 11.49 Miles- but need your help with donations for Combat Stress.
Chloe Mackay, CEO of Combat Stress, said: "PTSD does not go away on its own, it requires specialist treatment and support from those with knowledge and understanding of what veterans have experienced."
On average 73% of veterans who undertake Combat Stress treatment recover. This is an incredible impact and significantly above the recovery rate for PTSD of other mental health services.
Combat Stress provide clinical treatment and support for veterans from the British Armed Forces, focusing on those with complex mental health issues resulting from their experiences during military service. When some military personnel leave service, their experiences can’t easily be left behind. Without treatment, psychological trauma can eventually tear lives apart.
Combat Stress believe military trauma shouldn’t destroy the lives of veterans and their families. For over a century, they’ve helped former servicemen and women with mental health problems such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety and depression.

Over the last two years have raised £2,338 by walking hundreds of miles. Please help me pass the £2,500 mile-stone.

Dont prove them wrong.
Support my challenge
This year I will be taking on the Gower Peninsula Challenge to raise vital funds for life-changing mental health treatment for veterans.
Combat Stress is the UK's leading charity for veterans' mental health. For over a century, they've helped former servicemen and women deal with issues like trauma, anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Today, they provide support to veterans from every service and every conflict.
I’m taking vital steps towards ensuring veterans can get the support they need.
Thank you so much for your support.
