On 5th August, I am leaving Talacre Beach, on the north coast of Wales, to walk to Cardiff on the south coast - a journey of over 250km. My aim is to raise money for the Royal British Legion and Young Minds.

When I was young I was interested in military history, especially the 20th century. As I grew older I decided I wanted to join the military and became a cadet. I took part in Remembrance Day parades and helped with the Poppy Appeals. In 2019 there were 18 suicides in the UK armed forces, and 10% of serving personnel were suffering from PTSD. I think this is very disturbing, and now I want to do something more for the people who have served and suffered.
