Hello!

Last year, four inexperienced hikers from BAE Systems Detica set off to conquer the Three Peaks Challenge 2010.  Only three came back...

This year with your support, and in honour of "Jonny Two Poles", we are looking to beat our time 23hrs 25mins, and to improve on the £1000 we raised last year for Combat Stress.  We've left it late with this page, but with your support we can raise as much as we can for a worthy cause.

Please visit http://www.justgiving.com/combatstress for more details.

Thanks again

Jonny Two Poles

From January 2010 Detica will be supporting Combat Stress as our partner charity. The partnership will last for 2 years and will involve fund-raising and volunteering activities as part of the wider BAE Systems Charity Challenge.

 About Combat Stress

Combat Stress is the leading charity specialising in the care of British Veterans who have been profoundly traumatised by harrowing experiences during their Service career.

Many Veterans leave the Armed Forces with highly debilitating conditions such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), depression and anxiety disorders. Their problems can remain masked for years, and they and their families may be struggling to deal with matters at home. Combat Stress is able to provide two integrated services to meet Veterans' needs:

- Dedicated, short-stay clinical treatment

- Community outreach

Last year alone, we received 1,257 new referrals – bringing the number of ex-Service men and women in our care to approximately 4,200.

We look after Veterans of every campaign that British Forces have been involved in since the Second World War. This includes over 300 of recent operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
