I am raising vital funds for life-changing mental health treatment for veterans.

Some years ago I was mis-diagnosed by a GP as suffering from PTSD.  What the GP did though was to set the wheels in motion for me to spend a week getting treatment from Combat Stress.

It was during this week that I was correctly diagnosed with suffering from Long-term Depression.  Combat Stress were then able to ensure that I had the tools and help to turn my life around and by doing this challenge I am hoping to repay them in some small way.

During this challenge I am looking to run from Montrose in the Scottish borders to the finish point on Holy Island, but as this is only accessible when the tide is out I need to drag by 60year old sorry carcass down to the crossing point before the tide starts coming in and I can't finish the race. Link to race: https://stcuthbertsultra.com/

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.

Thank you so much for your support.
