Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running a marathon in Antarctica carrying 15kg at Rothera Research Station on New Year’s Day (weather permitting) I will be raising money for Combat Stress. I have lost friends from the military this year due to mental health problems and I want to do something to help stop it. Mental health problems in serving soldiers and veterans is far higher than the general public and unfortunately too many of them resort to taking their own life.  Let’s change the attitude to mental health, let’s drop the stigma and make it as common to talk about as the weather. But like most of the health services there just simply not enough cash and mental health services are underfunded and need our help. Please donate so we can change mental health for the better.  

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
