Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I'm running the Royal Parks Half Marathon in London on 06 October to raise money for the Ex Services Mental Welfare Society, Combat Stress.

here's why:

A small but significant number of Veterans leave the Armed Forces with psychological wounds. These can lead to depression, phobias, anxiety, relationship problems and, in some cases, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

Combat Stress works with Veterans of the British Armed Forces, and members of the Reserve Forces, through effective treatment and support for mental health problems.

Everything that we do is free of charge to the Veteran. Our work is made possible through statutory, non-statutory and voluntary fundraising. We simply couldn't do what we do without the generosity of the Great British public.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
