Story
For many soldiers, life outside of the forces can appear scary and uncertain at the best of times. Add a life changing injury to the equation and the future can quickly become a depressing place to be.
Instead of a short term project or challenge, W4W provide wounded warriors with the skills to achieve an exciting, rewarding and sustainable future for many years to come. They rebuild confidence, capabilities and pride and return professionals to their communities as someone to look up to instead of look after. By working with military rehabilitation units, other charities, businesses and the general public, W4W aim to inspire wounded warriors to move past injury and achieve new, bright and sustainable futures. Nobody should ever feel like they have already achieved their best!
In order to move past such a life changing injury or illness it is imperative that veterans continue to work for themselves and not be ’spoon-fed’ or simply offered short term projects or challenges.
This is why Wings 4 Warriors use the exciting, demanding and sustainable world of commercial aviation as an incentive to keep moving forwards, stop looking backwards and find a means to continue supporting their families for years to come.
I will be organising and taking part in multiple events; I will keep in touch with you all as to what/when/where these events are so please look back here for updates. In the mean time, please help me raise a substantial amount for a charity that I'm sure you will agree is an exceptional foundation for the future of our servicemen and women who have risked their lives and paid the price so that we may all enjoy the freedom we are oh so accustomed to and take for granted.
You can donate via this page or you can text 'WWDA50' and the amount you want to donate (eg '£3') to 70070.
Thank you to everyone who has been on this journey with me up until this point and on behalf of all the veterans you are helping - thank you so much for any donation you have made or support you have given!!
