Broxtowe MP Darren Henry, is in his final week of training ready for his first Robin Hood Half Marathon this Sunday.
Darren is running to raise funds for Broxtowe-based charity, Forces in the Community.
As a Royal Air Force Veteran with 26 years of service, Darren understands the challenges faced by the Veteran community and is aiming to complete his first ever half marathon in aid of this great local charity which support those Ex-Service personnel and their families.
Forces in the Community provides assistance to Veterans and their families with issues such as housing, benefits, mental health and
employment.
Darren Henry MP commented:
“Throughout the summer I have been training ready for this Sunday’s event. I am by no means a great runner but this is an excellent opportunity to support the amazing work done by Forces in the Community in Broxtowe and the surrounding area.”
“As a Veteran myself, I am well aware of the struggles that many former Armed Forces
personnel face when transitioning to civilian life. Forces in the Community do an excellent job in supporting our Veteran community however they are in desperate need of funding to ensure they can continue to offer support where it is needed.”
