Andy Geelan is raising money for King Edward VII's Hospital and Combat Stress
I completed the 7 marathons in 7 days on the 10th of May!
I covered 186miles and 17,000 feet of elevation gains over the 7 days,
I have been asked to keep the fundraiser open for a while longer her so I have set myself some extra challenges to overcome as well as recover from the injury I got on the marathons,
-Complete 1 Rossendale marathon before I go to London as the guest speaker on the 25th of June. (Completed 22nd of June)
As before I’ve set myself this challenge to raise awareness for Combat Stress and the services provided by the King Edward VII’s Hospital and hopefully some money too, to help others in my position.
I am a former King’s Royal Hussars Corporal who was seriously wounded and medically retired from the military following an IED blast, on operations in Afghanistan. The injuries I received are wide ranging, Severe traumatic brain injury, extensive nerve damage, chronic pain, migraines and complex PTSD. I have spent the last 12+ years in therapy and treatment following my accident, 2 whilst still in the army and the remainder post discharge.
Since leaving the military, these two organizations transformed my life through their vital services, and I'm deeply motivated to help them reach others in need. My family and I believe strongly in giving back, and since these charities played such a crucial role in my recovery and renewed sense of purpose, I want to ensure they can continue providing their life-saving support to others.
Any assistance I can offer - whether through raising awareness of their services or helping secure financial support - would allow me to express my gratitude while helping them extend their impact to more people who need it.
“It is never too late to seek help and for that help to make a real difference to your life! I’ve made the biggest steps forward and improvements to the quality of life for my whole family and myself, over the last 2 years”
