When the Uniform Comes Off: Why Combat Stress Is So Close to My Heart
There’s a version of service people see, the discipline, the resilience, the pride.
And then there’s the version that stays quiet. The one that follows you home.
Combat stress isn’t just something I’ve read about or supported from the outside. It’s something I’ve lived alongside, in myself, in the lads and lasses I served with, and in the civilians whose lives were changed by the same operational realities.
After serving, I’ve come to understand something clearly, the operational tour might end, but the nervous system doesn’t get the memo
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!
