Having worked with service and ex-service personnel in and outside the Royal Navy for nearly 50 years I've seen first hand the impact that a military career, service related injuries, experiences and the transition from the armed forces can have on people's mental health.

I'm delighted to have been selected to take part in the Waterloo to Waterloo charity cycle for Waterloo Uncovered - the groundbreaking charity combining veteran welfare and recovery with archaeology on the battlefield of Waterloo! By sponsoring my challenge, you'll be helping them to provide life changing support to veterans and serving military personnel.

Help those who served their country when they need it the most by donating to my challenge today. Find out more about Waterloo Uncovered's work here: www.waterloouncovered.com
