Established in memory of Captain David Seath, who tragically died running the London Marathon in support of Help for Heroes.
Since then, David’s legacy has raised over £350,000.00, supporting hundreds of veterans and their families, through Help for Heroes.
David served with distinction in Afghanistan with 19th Regiment Royal Artillery, who later earned the coveted green beret to serve with 29 Commando Regiment Royal Artillery. Inspired to run in support of Help for Heroes, having seen the incredible work undertaken to support veterans overcome life-changing physical and psychological wounds, Captain Seath tragically died running the 2016 London Marathon.
Establishing David’s fund was our way of embodying the commando spirit in being the first to understand, adapt and respond in the face of immense adversity to support those whom he cared most passionately about.
David’s fund has and continues to help veterans recover from life-changing physical and psychological wounds, deliver employability and skills training, meet health and social care needs, enable vital mental health services and fund a variety of sport and camaraderie events.
Funds are raised through our annual 5k run/walk and quiz events, and regular yoga sessions, which are organised by the family of Captain David Seath. Moreover, family, friends and the wider community are supported to take on challenge events as well as organise community and corporate fundraising across the United Kingdom and beyond.
Too many veterans are left to fight for the support they need; mentally, physically, financially. This isn’t just their fight – it’s ours too. Indeed, through David’s legacy, we, as a community, stand with them every day, providing life-changing support that rebuilds lives.
Please join our force for good behind a truly remarkable legacy.
