Major David Heath French RAMS is spearheading a significant charity cycling initiative to support NHS Charities Together and raise awareness for mental health. This endeavor is part of the #JoinTheJourney campaign, which aims to highlight the mental health challenges faced by NHS staff and the broader community.
In collaboration with Forces Equine and Lunar Eclipse EFL Therapy Horses CIC, Major Heath French is undertaking an epic charity bike ride. The journey commences at the Kelpies in Scotland and concludes at Weston Lawns in England. Notably, the "Hoof Gang" from Lunar Eclipse will accompany him along the route, culminating in the opening of the Forces Equine Games 2025 (#FEG2025) .
NHS Charities Together, the beneficiary of this fundraising effort, is a national organization that collaborates with over 230 NHS charities across the UK. Their mission is to enhance patient care, ensure equitable access to health services, and support NHS staff, especially in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic .
The #JoinTheJourney campaign underscores the importance of mental health awareness, particularly among NHS workers who have endured immense pressures in recent years. By participating in this campaign, Major Heath French and his partners aim to foster a supportive community and encourage open conversations about mental well-being.
