Combat Stress - Ian Gorman

Ian Gorman, Field Service Engineer at Ethos completed a four-day collection for the Veterans Mental Health Charity, Combat Stress.

Ian completed his challenge across the May bank holiday, camping out under the stars using his own personal military fieldcraft equipment.

Being a keen biker, Ian set up his camping equipment at some popular sights including Rykers Bike Café, Newlands Corner, Whiteways Biker Café and Ceasefire Biker Café. Ceasefire Biker Café, owned by an Armed Forces Veteran, was one of the places over the course of his four-day expedition, where Ian met Ex Forces Personnel, some having served in Iraq, Afghanistan and Northern Ireland.

Combat Stress is the UK’s leading charity for veterans’ mental health. For over a century, they helped former servicemen and women with mental health problems such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety and depression. Today they provide specialist treatment and support for veterans from every service and conflict, focusing on those with complex mental health issues.

We are absolutely delighted to announce that Ian’s efforts raised a total of £321.32 for the charity. With an additional donation from Ethos, we know the final fundraising monies, will go a long way to supporting Veterans struggling with their mental health.

David comments ‘ I can’t say enough about Combat Stress and the people, I owe them a debt of gratitude, they bought me back from the brink – I’ve got my life back and have strategies now in place for coping, I don’t feel as if I’m the only one anymore.”

On behalf of Ethos, we would like to thank Ian for all his hard work and unquestionable charitable efforts for Combat Stress and we look forward to supporting Ian in future challenges.
