Mark Williams, veteran who lives in Stevenage, served in the Royal Anglian Regiment for 16 years, and has spent 10 years housebound due to a debilitating spinal injury.
His recovery was further set back when he suffered from sepsis in 2022.
Despite these challenges, Mark has made remarkable progress with his recovery and rehabilitation, recently starting to walk again without the use of walking aids.
He is now planning to raise money for the UK military veterans’ charity Walking with the Wounded by taking part in their Walking Home campaign.
Mark intends to cover 28 miles between December 15 and 22, walking for four hours each day.
He hopes to inspire others facing similar challenges, and raise vital funds to support veterans and their families through Walking with the Wounded’s mental health, care coordination and employment programmes.
