My Story

Last Couple of days to donate and see me dying my hair blue for the marathon, and live with it afterwards.

Hello! I am taking on the TCS London Marathon in 2024 for SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity. Please help me reach my target of £2,500 and support our Armed Forces community!

Being a veteran of the Royal Navy and serving during the Gulf war, I have 1st hand seen the great work SSAFA offers. About 6 years ago I was in a dark place and struggling, I reached out to SSAFA, and they were able to help support me through this time. The support given was brilliant and at the time well needed. Doing this allows me now to give something back.

SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity is a trusted source of practical, emotional, and financial support for serving personnel, veterans, and their families in their time of need. In 2021 our trained teams of volunteers and employees helped more than 66,000 people, from Second World War veterans to those who have served in more recent conflicts, or currently serving (both regulars and reserves), and their families.

SSAFA understands that behind every uniform is a person. And we are here for that person and their family, any time they need us, and, in any way, they need us.

If I do reach my target amount, I will be dying my hair blue for the marathon.
