John will be carrying 25Kg in the style of the military fitness training for Help the Heroes. Their work with ex-serviceman /woman is vital. Both with physical injuries and mental health issues, is not only making lives better but SAVING them. Having lost close friends and suffered from them himself it is something very important to him.

Fundraising pageToday, seven people will be medically discharged from the Armed Forces and their lives will change forever. In an instant, these highly-trained individuals will lose the camaraderie, purpose and career which has been their life. We provide recovery and support for the Armed Forces community whose lives are affected by their service, no matter when they served. Our aim is to empower Veterans and Service Personnel to look beyond illness and injury. Every penny we raise, facility we run and activity we offer is to help Veterans and Service Personnel reach their potential, regain their purpose and have a positive impact on society.
