Helping Veterans Like Piers

With now less than a week to go before the first event, we would take this opportunity to remind everyone, our supporters and those who are planning to donate, exactly the kind of people we hope to help by raising funds for Combat Stress. In the past decade, the number of military personnel who have taken their own life has doubled, with many more suffering from longer term mental health issues. There are many of us that have served on operations and have lost family and friends, and that’s hard enough for everyone, for the unit, for the families, but it’s even worse when they come home and they feel like they’re in an safe environment, and they lose a life.

Combat Stress, the charity and the people, are really important to Sip. They are the one's who deal directly with veterans suffering with mental health issues on a day to day basis. There are other charities out there that do deal with that, but with a history dating back over one hundred years, helping in excess of thirty thousand service personnel in the past year alone, the service they provide is literally life changing for the personnel involved. They are the people that look after those who are fearful to speak about it, those suffering in silence, and those that put on a brave face whilst dealing with the daily anguish. It’s those people that we are trying to help, raising funds for a more than worthy charity, caring people who can really make a difference.

Watch the video below, hear a personal story from Piers, and help veterans like him today. Your support, whether that be via a donation or by simply sharing our message on social media, is key to the success of our event. Donating via our website is safe, quick and easy and all transactions are collected and processed securely in partnership with Just Giving. Every penny counts as we target raising a sizable amount for the charity. We are also accepting donations in person and via Facebook, if those methods are better for you. You can track the progress of campaign via our website homepage, which features a handy feed from our fundraising profile, displaying donation totals and the journey towards our target.

Whilst we mentally and physically prepare for the endurance challenge later in the year, no doubt pushing Major Powers to breaking point, we won’t neglect to forget that our efforts are worth nothing without your support, encouragement and generous donations. Honestly, seven days of pain is nothing compared to what our service personnel and veterans go through daily, both mentally and physically, suffering in silence. This really is our chance to make a difference to those dedicated people wh...
