We Thought They Said Rum?!

Hampton Court Half

Support our Combat Stress fundraiser

This October, the day after World Mental Health Day, a team of Combat Stress staff, alongside our family and friends, will be lacing up our trainers and taking on the Hampton Court Half Marathon and 10k. We are running to raise vital funds and awareness for the charity we are so proud to work for, and for the veterans and their families we support.

For many of us, this challenge is well outside our comfort zone. Some of us have never run before. Some haven’t run in years. Some are taking on their very first organised event. All of us are a little nervous. 

Combat Stress is the UK’s leading charity for veterans’ mental health. For over a century, we’ve supported former servicemen and women living with trauma, anxiety, depression and post‑traumatic stress disorder. Today, we continue to provide specialist treatment to veterans from every service and every conflict helping them rebuild their lives, reconnect with loved ones, and find hope again.

We see the impact of this work every day. We know how much it matters. And we know how many veterans still need us. 

So this October, we’re running for them.

Every step we take is a step towards ensuring veterans can access the life‑changing support they deserve. Every donation helps us reach someone who may be struggling in silence. Whether you can give the cost of your daily coffee, your post‑work drink, or a little more, your support genuinely makes a difference.

Thank you, from all of us!
