Reposted from @tommarcus06 - During my time in the military I served with the very best in the world. This is my very good friend @iamjonnymh who was at the very top of his game in the Parachute Regiment. He’s running the London Marathon this year in body armour to raise funds to support our Paras. Link in Bio #Repost @iamjonnymh ・・・ I’m running the London Marathon in Body Armour for Support Our Paras. Please donate what you can https://mydonate.bt.com/fundraisers/jonnymortimerhendry ... I joined The Parachute Regiment as an Officer, serving within all three Battalions. These included tours in Afghanistan, which I had the privilege of leading Paratroopers through an intense period of conflict. I was involved in incidents that I struggled to process on return to the UK, the remedy I sought was to deploy back into the conflict zone that I’d recently left, catharsis in its most raw delivery. ... My first tour ended by arriving straight into Birmingham Hospital after flying back from Afghanistan with a seriously injured Paratrooper who died on landing in the UK. A few months later, I was back in Helmand. We were low on ammunition, surrounded by a very determined enemy and the man next to me had just been shot. On returning to the UK after the last tour, I missed being away. The Regiment’s welfare system identified that I’d benefit from some help. The support and relief of having an incredible charity like Support Our Paras has helped me, as they continue to help others. ... I will be running the London Marathon in body armour, for the men we lost, to highlight the need for organisations like Support Our Paras and to encourage soldiers to speak with someone about their experiences. Over the past 10 years, the stigma about Mental Health has improved significantly, but we still have a long way to go. Donating to Support Our Paras will directly benefit those who are most in need. From physiotherapy, counselling and veteran care, this is an outstanding organisation that looks after the welfare of the soldiers and families of The Parachute Regiment. ... Any donation however big or small will go to this amazing charity run by very special people. #Army #ParachuteRegime
