We care for veterans in crisis to restore independence and dignity.

Story

I am participating in the Running Everest personal marathon in 2024 in the Himalayas to raise funds for Veterans Aid, a charity that provides immediate support to our country's heroes. I will be climbing Island Peak (6,189m) before running at the World's Highest Marathon, Tenzing Hillary Everest Marathon at 26.2 miles at an altitude of over 5364m. The expedition is from 13th May to the 4th June 2024. These brave men and women joined the services to protect our freedom and liberty, and many paid the ultimate sacrifice. Those who survived now need our help. Veterans Aid is unique in their approach, providing food, clothing, and accommodation within hours of someone walking through their doors. Their support goes beyond these basic needs, helping veterans get back on their feet and regain their independence. As a grateful veteran, who also deployed on multiple operational deployments to Afghanistan, I am honoured to support this cause and ask for your help in reaching my target of £3,000 GBP.

Through your donation, we can make a difference in the lives of those who have sacrificed so much for us. Let's show our appreciation by supporting Veterans Aid today.
