Story

Join #TeamLegion for the Simplyhealth Great North Run 2019 and help provide lifelong support for the Armed Forces community - serving men and women, veterans, and their families.

Your fundraising helps to fund vital services for the Armed Forces community, such as The Battle Back Centre - the first port of call for wounded, injured and sick service men and women.

- £20 pays for small maintenance repairs for a vulnerable veteran struggling to live independently

- £50 provides materials for two participants in an Art Recovery Programme which improves confidence and motivation.

- £250 allows a child who feels isolated to interact with others struggling with aspects of military family life, on a UK adventure break

- £500 helps provide training for an Admiral nurse who supports and re-assures families caring for a relative with dementia

- £1800 buys an adaptive basketball wheelchair at our recovery centre and enables veterans to enjoy competitive sport and a sense of self worth
