🏃♂️ 10K Weighted TAB for Veterans’ Mental Health 🏋️♂️
Help us raise £3,000 to provide quarterly mental health awareness sessions for veterans and their families!
🪖 Why We’re Doing This
Veterans fight battles long after the battlefield. Some wounds are invisible, but their impact is lifelong. Too many veterans suffer in silence, struggling with mental health challenges, transition to civilian life, and a lack of ongoing support.
At Pheniks In The Community CIC, we stand for those who stood for us. That’s why, on April 13, 2025, five veterans will take on a 10K weighted TAB —a military-style endurance challenge—to raise £3,000 to fund quarterly mental health awareness sessions for veterans and their families.
💡 Why This Matters:
1 in 4 veterans will experience mental health struggles.
Suicide rates among veterans remain alarmingly high.
Many suffer in silence, feeling isolated from society.
We refuse to let them fight alone. This fundraiser will fund mental health awareness sessions designed to give veterans and their families the tools, support, and network they need to regain control of their well-being.
💬 Why People Fight for Veterans' Mental Health
This cause isn’t just close to our hearts—it’s close to all of us. Here’s what people have said about why they fight for veterans’ mental health:
🗣️ "I fight for veterans’ mental health because I’ve lost too many mates to battles they never spoke about."
🗣️ "I love a veteran and I see the weight they carry daily. I fight so they don’t have to do it alone."
🗣️ "Whilst I sleep soundly, he fights a war on repeat."
🗣️ "Veterans experience things that people shouldn’t see. They need and deserve our full support."
🗣️ "Because those who stood for us deserve someone to stand for them."
🗣️ "After years of bottling up my struggles, my world nearly collapsed. The hardest thing was reaching out—but it was also the bravest. No one should suffer alone."
This 10K weighted TAB is more than a challenge—it’s a statement. It says: We stand together. We fight together. We rise together.
