Our volunteer Dave Edwards is taking part in the Race To The King ultra marathon on 15 June 2024. It’s a 50km (31 miles) trail run through the South Downs.
Dave is raising money for Samaritans, and also for Combat Stress.
I have been so impressed with Sams since I started and so pleased that there are resources for ex and serving military and their families. I love the Sams family, whom I’ve found to be a wonderful bunch of folk from all kinds of backgrounds. As well as helping others in their worst of times I’ve found that I also gain a lot by helping those people. I think we can all be proud of the service that we provide.

Dave was invalided out of the Royal Navy after being injured. His son is serving as a Chief Petty Officer in the navy, and is currently battling the problems in the Middle East and Red Sea.
I have raised funds for Military charities for years. Lately they have been mental health organisations such as Icarus and Combat Stress. Both of these organisations helped me enormously when I was in my own dark place and I have always wanted to give something back.
