Story

My personal story....I was introduced to AFPST a few years back after my confidence had been severely knocked following medical discharge from the Army. I had been involved in sports recovery programs previously but decided to give snowsports a go as it was something, following physical injury, I didn't think I would ever be able to do given the physical injuries I'd sustained during my service.

I have signed up to do the EBC trek as firstly, fundraising for the charity is an opportunity for me to give back given they have been instrumental to my own recovery journey but at the personal level those that know me understand that I HATE walking and hiking....but I'd like to raise awareness for veteran mental health and wellbeing whilst championing how to overcome not just physical injuries but also the invisible and trauma related injuries sustained through service.

Any contribution you can spare would be greatly welcomed so that I can make the team of 20 heading to Nepal in Spring 2024. Thanks for reading and please stay tuned to the usual social media channels for progress and training updates!
