Why march in March for me?
So as some of you know, I’ve learned a lot about PTSD over the last year, and Combat Stress have played a huge role in supporting not just Ben, but me too. 💛
The idea that it’s easy for military personnel to access mental health support after leaving active duty is sadly a myth. Many veterans rely on charities like Combat Stress to access therapy and counselling, and to even begin processing the traumatic experiences they’ve lived through.
PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing trauma. It can affect how someone thinks, feels, and responds day to day, with symptoms such as anxiety, flashbacks, nightmares, and feeling constantly on edge.
PTSD can affect anyone, and support can be life-changing. That’s why this fundraiser means so much to us — helping charities like Combat Stress continue the vital work they do for veterans and their families.
Thank you so much to everyone who’s supporting, donating, or sharing 💙
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 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 on March in March to help take vital steps towards ensuring veterans can get the support they need.
Thank you so much for your support and together we march!
