Mick joined Bickleigh Barracks in 1940 (now 42 Commando) as national service and was a POW in Singapore's infamous Chengi prison. He came up to me in Tesco and said, 'The kids don't know what they're in for, the Internet is enslaving them and the news is a scam...'
We swapped stories about the Green Cafe and Hong Kong for an hour and it reminded me that, no matter how busy one is, always take time off life.
A reminder for you, I'm running in the Marathon Des Sables next week, so our monthly Zoom chat will be first week in May. (Can you also remember to mute your audio if you are walking about/making noise in the background, as our other guests can't hear with the background noise - thank you)
HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who has sponsored me a fiver for running the Toughest Footrace on Earth in aid of my friend's children and dog rescue centre in Tanzania. The alternative for these kids and dogs does not bear thinking about 👊❤️☀️

LEGENDS, what can I say? Thanks to your kindness and generosity, sparing a fiver and sharing my posts, I've just sent half of the expedition costs to the Everest summit company in Nepal @htraverseadv Massive thanks also to my only corporate sponsor so far, former Royal Marine @adthelad4547 and my girlfriend Jenny for making this possible. I've also been working and saving like hell. The most important thing is that we continue to put out the life-saving message to struggling veterans that there is life after CPTS and that we all have to start talking about the link with adverse childhood experiences - because no one is and if you don't know what the problem is then how can you heal it? 👏❤👊
