You’re doing what?
The short answer is the Army Benevolent Fund's 2024 Frontline Walk, a
four day trek retracing the escape route of Allied servicemen and Jewish
refugees through the Pyrenees.
Why? To raise as much money as I can to help the British Army’s national charity continue its amazing work supporting veterans and serving soldiers with independent living, care, training, mental wellbeing and housing, and the families of service men, women and veterans who need it.
The Army gave me a wonderful start in life and I was lucky enough to come through physically and mentally unscathed and to be able to embark on a rewarding career. But I am also aware that many of the wonderful people I served with, as well as those coming before and after, have not been so fortunate.
In 2022/3 the ABF helped 70,000 people in 45 countries worldwide, and funded 74 other charities and organisations that deliver frontline services. You can read all about it here How we help - Army Benevolent Fund.
