Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page set up to raise funds for Walking With The Wounded.
So, this is my next 'stupid' idea. I will be training over the next 10 weeks to take part in a charity boxing match being held on Saturday 18th June - full details of the event are in the link below.

Why am I doing this to myself??
My sister has worked for this charity for 10 years now and I've seen first hand the work that they do. Walking With The Wounded support veterans whether they are mentally wounded, socially wounded or physically wounded. WWTW believe that our veterans deserve the care, support and means they and their families need to function in society, serving in the communities in which they live, reigniting their sense of purpose and making a positive contribution again.
WWTW gets those who’ve served – and their families - back on their feet. They do four things: employment, mental health, care coordination and volunteering which are saving jobs, homes, relationships and lives for the veterans who are struggling since leaving the military.
Their innovative partnerships with the NHS, supporting mental health teams across the UK; the creation of Project Nova with the RFEA to intercept veterans in police custody and reduce reoffending; our own mental health capabilities enabling 121 therapy within days; and our award-winning volunteering initiative OP REGEN, are delivering significant, positive, social impacts across the UK.
