A silent killer that needs our full attention

The individual in the photograph is one of my best friends, and served his country with pride and honour. Saw and did things that many would be unable to do. Those burdens and injuries eventually build up to a point that makes even the proudest man seek help.

Without Combat Stress and other charities many of veterans would be left scrambling for support they desperately need.

I was lucky that Glynn found Combat Stress, when things became hard for him. He was struggling and as someone who speaks to him near daily I was unaware of his struggles.

Sadly this story is played out near daily across the country to so many of our former and current heroes.

It is incumbent on us, as comrades, friends and good people to support the effort to eradicate this silent killer.

Too many good people have been lost to this, and things must change.

Any donation no matter how big or small helps this cause.

I am walking this challenge for Glynn and anyone else who has, is or will be affected by this.

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 anniversary of D-Day, 6 June 2025.

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.
