LHR 11 - Veterans for Veterans

We all know someone who has suffered from, or is still suffering from, the effects of their military service. 

The number of veterans who resort to taking their own lives often exceeds the actual combat casualties from the conflicts in which they served. In 2021, this figure stood at 253. 

We are in the fortunate position to be able to help raise funds to support our comrades in arms.

On Tuesday 23rd June, we will be attempting a half marathon (13.1 mile) march carrying packs weighing in 17 kgs (standard weight for military fitness tests) aiming to complete within a 4 hour cut off.

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.

We are taking on vital steps towards ensuring veterans can get the support they need.

Not all scars are visible.

Any donation is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for your support.
