After serving for 20 years in the British Army, Darren was medically discharged and his world fell apart overnight.
These are our stories of strength
While it takes strength to serve in the Armed Forces, it takes a different kind of strength to live life beyond injury.
It could be the strength to learn to walk again, or to ask for help after 15 years in silence.
Together, we can help our wounded veterans overcome their daily battles and thrive.
Give strength to those who gave for us.
