Story

Amazing supporters like you have raised £150 in their previous virtual challenges, but why not go miles ahead of the rest?

Remember whether you choose to carry hand weights, a weighted vest or go full military style with a backpack, you'll be taking the load off the shoulders of veterans like Trevor.

During one particular tour in Afghanistan one of his Corporals (Channing Day) was killed along with a Royal Marine which was, understandably, very difficult to deal with.

After finishing this tour he came back to the UK, and in 2015 left the regular Army and attempted to ease into civvie street. He was diagnosed with PTSD in 2017
