Story

Hello Everyone,

Thank you for coming to this page.

On the 11th of September 2021 I will be marrying the love of my life. As part of our celebrations we are raffling our first dance to help raise funds for PTSD Resolution, which is a charity very close to both of our hearts. 

As a military veteran I have suffered with Complex PTSD, which when untreated had a devastating impact to my life. Despite repeated attempts to get help from both the UK Military and the NHS treatment was not forthcoming. Sadly for many of my friends who I have served with who also had PTSD, this lack of access to effective treatment has had much graver consequences.

Fortunately for me I was eventually able to find PTSD Resolution who provided me with highly effective treatment that was able to successfully resolve my Complex PTSD.  Therefore I would like to help support this amazing charity who helped me when I so desperately needed it, support other Service Personnel, Veterans and their families. 

We will be selling raffle tickets (no fixed price - anything from a $1 or a £1 upwards would be gratefully received) for your chance to decide which song will be our first dance - you can be as kind or mischievous as you like - whatever you pick we have to go with! 

I would like to thank you once again for any donations you can provide, they will help an amazing charity doing life saving work and hopefully provide a lot of hilarity on our big day.

Thank you,

Gaz
