Martin
As a Commando, Martin lived by the motto you ‘adapt and overcome'. But nothing could have prepared him for the horrors of living with multiple sclerosis.
While it takes strength to serve in the Armed Forces, it takes a different kind of strength to live life beyond injury.
It could be the strength to learn to walk again, or to ask for help after 15 years in silence.
Together, we can help our wounded veterans overcome their daily battles and thrive.
Give strength to those who gave for us.
