Combat Stress
March In March Virtual Challenge 2022
Supporting Veterans' Mental Health
Mission Accomplished!
I am a disabled woman with Cerebral Palsy. This has affected three of my limbs: my right arm and both my legs. I cannot run a marathon or climb a mountain so trying to raise awareness and funds for causes closest to my heart is at the best of times impossible!
I support all who serve their country and try to give back to veterans in the best way that I can. I can appreciate and understand how suffering life-changing injuries both physically and mentally can impact one’s life. My disability has had a huge impact on my mental health.
By using the same physical distance of 10 miles, I will use my Motomed exercise bike to cycle the same distance. Starting in Eddleston in the Scottish Borders and finishing at the Glencorse Barracks.
On the 5th of March 2022, I participated in my first virtual March In March challenge hosted by Combat Stress.
Starting in Eddleston in the Scottish Borders and finishing at the Glencorse Barracks I chose a road I travel on often as part of my March In March virtual route. By using my Motomed exercise bike I cycled the required distance of 10 miles non-stop in a personal best time of 69 minutes.
I am extremely proud to have played a small part in raising awareness and vital funds for Combat Stress and their amazing work in helping veterans with their mental health.
Through generous donations and huge amounts of support, I have managed to raise £1,045.00.
With sincere thanks...
Combat Stress is the UK’s leading charity for veterans’ mental health. For a century they’ve helped former servicemen and women with mental health problems such as post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and depression. The work they do is life-changing and often lifesaving.
I am extremely proud to have played a small part in raising awareness and vital funds for Combat Stress, who support veterans with their mental health.
I would like to thank Combat Stress for giving me the opportunity to show my support for their charity.
