Stronger Together: Marching for Mental Health with Fun Fit for Life

This year I’m taking part in March in March to raise funds for Combat Stress – the UK’s leading charity for veterans’ mental health – and I’m so proud to say I’ve already raised £293, smashing my original target.

I’m doing this challenge with Bournemouth & Poole Fun Fit for Life, a group that has truly changed my life. Not only am I fitter now than I was in my 40s, but I’ve also gained so much more than physical strength. I’ve made wonderful new friends, built confidence I didn’t know I had, and faced fears I once avoided.

Through this community, I’ve learned that growth doesn’t stop with age. I can now do things I never thought possible and take on new challenges – both mentally and physically. That’s exactly why supporting veterans struggling with mental health matters so much to me. Everyone deserves the chance to rebuild, regain strength, and move forward.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me so far. Together, step by step, we’re making a difference. 💛

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!
