I'm doing this run to help veterans and the charity . They have helped friends I know .Support my Race to Remember
This year I will be taking part in Race to Remember, who raise vital funds for life-changing mental health treatment, for veterans who are currently serving and who have served and fallen in the past, including both my late grandfathers.
My grandfather Griffith Lewis Evans, on my mums side, served in the British Army serving various battles and was trusted to guard Rudolf Hess, (a German Politician and member of the Nazi party, who was appointed deputy Fuhrer to Adolf Hitler in 1933) in Spandau Prison.
He then went on to serve with the Royal London Fusiliers and then became a Queens Guard for Queen Elizabeth II.
During his time in the Army he obtained the rank of Colour Sergeant, won the Wigan Award, gained 4 medals as well as a good conduct medal.
My grandfather, Wilfred Edward Damper, on my fathers side, served in the British Royal Navy from 1936-1948.
He served as a stoker on the HMS Cumberland, during WW2 as well as travelling all around the world during various battles.
I’m taking on Race to Remember to help take vital steps towards ensuring veterans can get the support they need.
If my grandfathers were with us today, I know they would be so proud of me and everyone else for competing in Race to Remember, a fantastic charity who strive to support and raise funds to help veterans, who have served in various battles to give us all the freedom and choices we have today.
I have some very close friends that this outstanding charity has helped in the past and continues to still help to this day.
This being said, I would like to raise as much as possible for Combat Stress and all the veterans they are helping today and will continue to help in the future.
If you are in a position to donate, even just a few pounds then I would be very grateful.
Thank you so much for your support.
