In memory of my father.

In 2023 at the age of 72 I completed the National Three Peaks Challenge in support of Combat Stress. Now on 8th August 2026 I'm doing the Lake District Triple Challenge: 12km mountain biking through Grizedale Forest; 10km climb up the "Old Man of Coniston" mountain; and ending with 1.5 hour kayaking on Coniston Water - all within around 8 hours.
Once again I'm doing this to honour my late father, Ted Mawdsley. He was one of the first Royal Marines Commandos during World War 2 and was involved in the North Africa and Mediterranean campaigns. Tragically, because of his combat experiences his mental health suffered and he took his own life when I was still in my teens. 
Many veterans experience psychological trauma after their service and so I am proud to try to do something to support these brave men and women in my small way.
Thank you for your donations. They will make a huge difference to someone's life.

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

Thank you so much for your support.
