Support my D-Day Challenge

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

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.

As a veteran myself (RAF - please don't hold that against me), I’m taking on D-Day Challenge to help take vital strides towards ensuring veterans can get the support they need.

I'll be publishing my progress and giving examples of the much needed work that CombatStress provide via https://runfatboyrun.net.  There's also the Instagram feed across on @run_fatboy_run_net

Thank you so much for your support.
