Raising Money For

Walking With The Wounded

Why I’m Taking Part

I am completing the 2026 Marathon des Sables, the 'toughest foot race on earth', self supported over 270 KM in the extreme temperatures and terrain of the Sahara Desert. I am raising money for Walking With The Wounded (WWTW) who do amazing work to support Veterans and their families, often in time of crisis and exceptional need.
As a Veteran, I've seen and felt the mental health impacts of war, and I've seen too many of my Veteran brothers and sisters in crisis at home too. WWTW are there when the burden of Service becomes too much, preventing the worst case outcomes, through a range of direct interventions and support packages.
I am proud to be able to do my bit in raising some well needed funds. Anything you can give is hugely appreciated, and I promise you it will go into making a real difference in improving a Veteran's quality of life, safety, mental health and well-being. I appreciate you taking the time to look at my page, and I really cannot thank you enough for anything you donate, big or small - thank you!!

So it is completed! An amazing race across a very beautiful, remote and brutal environment. Had very bad blisters on the soles of both feet (never had that before) around 30 km into day 4 long stage and kept going through stage 4 (100km stage) to get to the medical tent. Got them dressed up, then marathon stage 5, then half marathon on stage 6. Feet really took a battering and I won’t share photos here 😂 I could not have done this without all of you donating, that kept me going and you’ve raised over £70k!!! Amazing work everyone and it will make a real difference!
