Combat Stress are the UK’s leading charity for veterans’ mental health. I'm passionate that whether they come from The Solent or the North East, Preston or Gravesend, Birmingham, Oxford , Hull , Truro or Bristol to name a few those veteran's deserve our support if and when they struggle - most especially when they have  come forward to serve and protect from families without the resources to fund such care when it is needed. This time I'm running. Last time I swam a mile in every county supported by the County Councils Network.

For over a century Combat Stress they’ve helped former servicemen and women deal with trauma-related mental health problems such as anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).They’re on a mission to raise awareness that invisible injuries can be just as hard to cope with as physical ones. So when a veteran is having a tough time, they’re there to help them tackle the past and take on the future.
