Story

We woke on Monday morning to the tragic news that Martin McConnell, a great friend and supporter of the Charity, lost his life yesterday. Despite facing his own challenges with PTSD, Martin did so much for others raising significant sums to fund holidays for other PTSD sufferers. He was an immense force who died doing what he loved and will leave a massive motorbike shaped hole in our hearts.

This appeal will help fund Martin's funeral costs and show his family the high regard he was held in by so many.
