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!!

Good luck Wes, sounds like an almighty challenge for a great cause!

Thank you Gavin and Layla, it is very kind of you and hopefully this explains why I've not been at all the matches at the weekend! Training has been tough, weekends taken up with long runs and walks in prep, nearly there...
