Support my March in March
This year I will be taking on March in March to raise vital funds for life-changing mental health treatment for veterans’.
Combat Stress are the UK's leading charity for veteran's mental health. For almost 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 on March in March to help take vital steps towards ensuring veterans can get the support they need.
As most of you know: I developed PTSD from military service in the 80's/90's which took over 15 years post service to reach a point of formal diagnosis and counselling. In addition, 2020 has seen a bowel cancer op and 7 months of chemo, leaving me with peripheral neuropathy in my fingers and toes (amongst some other residual fatigue and nausea side effects). This will add to the challenge of a 'march' so training and time will determine if I attack in one march of a series of smaller marches.
Thank you so much for your support. Andy P 🙏

Final prep for the main event 👍
Monday 1st Mar Back in A&E with post-chemo chest/breathing pains again over the weekend so looks like plan-B is still on the cards as I daren't push it for plan-C --- where plan-B was 4 x 2.5mile walks. I'm currently looking to do these Mon-Thurs w/c 8th March ... 🙏🙏🙏 Share

January update:
Monday 1st Feb Fatigue, nausea and peripheral neuropathy continue to impact from chemo. The pins-and-needles in the toes are the most painful. That said, I have had regular walks 'around the block' all wrapped up warm and shielded from COVID nasties etc. and managing to slowly complete the 0.4 mile dog walk :-)February plan is to go daily and start increasing the mileage to challenge myself in March. Currently Plan A = 10 x 1 mile walks, Plan B = 4 x 2.5 miles, Plan C = 2 x 5 miles and Plan D = 1 x 10 mile walk.

Setting up Combat Stress donation page ...
Monday 4th Jan Setting up the Combat Stress donation page for the March in March. A 10 mile march and at this point I have no idea if my post chemo peripheral neuropathy will enable a full 10 mile in one day march, or, if I'll need to attack in 1 mile per day smaller marches.
