Amber & Dad

We are raising vital funds for life-changing mental health treatment for veterans.

Amber (Age 6) and her Dad are planning to walk 10 miles over January 2024 to raise money for Combat Stress, a wonderful charity who helps UK Armed Forces Veterans with mental health needs. 

Amber is going to be breaking the distance down into small segments to total 10 miles, and we'll probably be bringing Baxter, our Labrador, along for the exercise too. 

Ambers Dad, Sam, is a Veteran himself and spends his working life representing injured service personnel in compensation appeals, with a large majority of his work involving complex mental health injuries. 

Amber is super excited to take on this challenge and has already suggested upping the distance...


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.
