Let's Do This Southampton Marathon
Do you want to join me in making a difference? On 5th September 21 I'm raising money in aid of THE RIPPLE POND, a charity that supports the adult family members and loved ones of Service Personnel and Veterans who suffer from physical injuries or mental ill health due to their service. Having been seriously injured myself in 2010 I have seen first hand the impact an injury can have on the family (although I didn't fully appreciate it at the time). Support is outstanding for the injured Service Person, but their families, who provide the vital emotional support, are often left to deal with the impacts of the situation on their lives with little or no assistance or guidance. This can make supporting someone challenging and isolating and have an impact on their own mental wellbeing. This is where The Ripple Pond comes in, as the only UK charity focused on supporting the families of those who were physically injured or are living with Mental ill health as a result of their service. Every donation will help deliver this vital work. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.
