Today marks eight years since David tragically died running the 2016 London Marathon.
David earned the coveted green beret to serve in 29 Commando Regiment Royal Artillery. As a community, we have embodied the commando ethos in showing unity, fortitude, selfless commitment, & courage to ensure his legacy continues to support those whom he cared most passionately about.
Today, we reflect on our personal journeys coming to terms and accepting the loss of David, as well as the many fundraising and memorial events held. We wish to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their kind messages and support.
Together, we have raised over £335,600.00 to support veterans and their families across the United Kingdom through Help For Heroes, in David’s name.
David’s legacy is delivering vital mental health and wellbeing services, providing means to overcome life-changing physical wounds, supporting education and employability pathways, facilitating sports and fellowship activities and much more.
Once again, thank you for your support, and we hope you continue to join us as an incredible force for good behind a truly remarkable legacy in the future.
