40 years ago, I was involved in one of the biggest events in my life when I deployed to the Falklands to liberate the Islanders from the Argentine forces as a young 20-year-old Commando Sapper.

This year I am setting myself a challenge over the same period 40 years later where I will attempt to Cycle Self-Supported i.e., by bike and carrying all my kit with me over a 9 day period the length of the UK from Lands End to John O’Groats (LEJOG)

This will include covering on average over 100 miles a day and include a stop-off at the Spean Bridge Commando Memorial in Scotland where I will reflect and remember those fallen Service personnel 40 years ago and, in the years, following.

In the last 40 years, I have experienced and witnessed various degrees of suffering and illness both in my 30+ year Military career and within the Construction Industry in the last 10 years where individual family members, friends and colleagues have suffered from, either Heart-related conditions, Cancer illness, and Mental Health issues and some have lost their fight against these conditions.

So, I’m aiming to raise money for the following charities:

• South Atlantic Medal Association 1982 (SAMA82). This was formed to promote and support veterans of the campaign. They also investigate cases of hardship or distress amongst South Atlantic veterans in which direct financial or mental health assistance is sought or recommended. Providing a network of support and direction for those in need. https://sama82.org.uk/
