To fund raise for Combat Stress, Edinburgh Troop 521 EOD&S Squadron are entering the Scottish half marathon. However, we don't think that is difficult enough for us, so we have challenged ourselves to run the 13.1 mile race in under 2.5 hours, carrying a 100kg Beaverfit stretcher.

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 vital steps towards ensuring veterans can get the support they need.

Thank you so much for your support.
