Support my challenge
This year I will be taking on the London 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 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 vital steps towards ensuring veterans can get the support they need.
Thank you so much for your support.

Not much time Hill Sprints
Tuesday 21st Feb
10 miler
Saturday 18th Feb Well today has been my longest distance since training for this Marathon... Got up early started off but had to go home again to change my socks as they were slipping. So had to stop the watch and reset. I am doing this for Combat Stress and to make my self a healthier fitter person. No one told me to raise money for Combat Stress I feel it's the right thing to do. All the work I know they put in to rescue our Armed Forces Veterans from the brink of disaster. I could as I have a Ballott place just run and enjoy the London Marathon.. However I can still do this and raise funds for this life changing charity. Even if you donate £1 it all helps in saving life's. ❤️💛 Day off Sun and a takeaway is deserved tonight with my family.... Thank you so much to those who have donated so far I am truly humbled Ron, Chubby, Kev and Paul thank you so so much it motivates me even more.. ❤️💛 Share
Day Off
Thursday 16th Feb Well on my second day off. A day off is as good as a run ... Being 50 my body doesn't heal quicker so couple of days off and on Sat morning I will do a long run . Furthest I've done for this training period. Looking forward to it... Nothing strenuous just slow and steady to get time on my legs.... ❤️💛 Share
