Michael Leather

London Landmarks Half 2026

Reasons for Running

I am a veteran of amongst other campaigns, the Falklands campaign. It has had a profound effect on mine and my nearest and dearest lives. I was one of many affected and many, more than the conflict claimed, sadly succumbed to taking their own lives. Combat Stress started me on my journey to try and repair the damage. Before I get too old, I want to repay in someway their contribution to my road to recovery. My wife says I am a work in progress, but what husband isn't??!!😆😆

Support my challenge

This year I will be taking on the London Landmarks Half Marathon 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 servicewomen 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 vital steps towards ensuring veterans can get the support they need.

Thank you so much for your support.
