Support my D-Day Challenge

In honour of our forefathers as well as current servicemen who have bravely fought to protect our way of life, I will be taking on the D-Day Challenge to raise vital funds for life-changing mental health treatment for veterans.

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.

I’m taking on D-Day Challenge to help take vital strides towards ensuring veterans can get the support they need.

Thank you so much for your support.

I’ve not been hacked!

Saturday 27th Jan
For those of you who know me, don’t worry I’ve not been hacked! I really have signed up, with my good friend Andy, for a 44 mile run along the Normandy beaches on the 80th anniversary of D-Day. 

It’ll be a personal challenge but more importantly I hope I can raise some money that’ll make a real difference to soldiers, sailors and flyers who have served their country and suffered long term effects as a result. 

Thank you to my Sponsors
