My target 10 mi

I did it!

I did it! I have completed Combat Stress's 'March in March' charity fundraiser. This evening (05/03/26) I did 10 miles carrying 25kgs. I alternated it by marching a mile, then running the next mile, and so on, for the entire distance. It was the most physically exhausting thing I have ever done. Thank you to everyone who has donated or will donate.x

Tonight's the night!

I'm doing the 10 miles in one go tonight, carrying 25kgs. My training has been hampered by manflu for the last two weeks, so I will have to grit my teeth tonight and keep pushing on! The physical pain will be nothing when compared to the PTSD our veterans struggle with, so I will use that and the memory of my mate Neil Pattinson to keep me going 👊🏼🇬🇧

Another practice run.

7.6 miles carrying 13kgs today. That was rough on the knees!

Getting some practice in!

7.6 miles run this evening, unweighted. Will slowly build up to the 10 miles and 25kgs next month.

My knees aren't looking forward to this!

I am raising money for Combat Stress, a charity which helps our veterans suffering with PTSD. I will march/run a distance of 10 miles in March with 25kgs on my back. 

I never served - I never had the balls. However, I love and respect our armed forces, and my mate Neil Pat did serve in the British Army, in the Coldstream Guards.

Sadly, Neil is no longer with us. While his passing was not PTSD related, I am doing this both in his memory and to help our veterans. 

I will be grateful for any pennies you can spare, however your moral support will keep me going too.x 🇬🇧💂‍♀️

Support my March in March

This year I will be taking on March in March 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 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 March in March to help take vital steps towards ensuring veterans can get the support they need.

Thank you so much for your support and together we march!
