Captain David Seath Memorial 5K Run / Walk
The Captain David Seath Memorial Fund 5K fundraising event returns to Pittencrieff Park, Dunfermline on Sunday 27th April.
About Captain David Seath Memorial 5K Run / Walk
Welcoming runners, walkers of all ages and abilities, alongside dog-joggers, and pram pushers too, funds raised will support veterans and their families across Scotland through the charity Help for Heroes in David’s name.
The fund was set up following the tragic death of Captain David Seath, who died running the 2016 London Marathon in support of Help for Heroes. Since then, over £350,000 has been raised for the veterans’ Charity.
Funds raised have delivered vital mental health support, health and wellbeing services, employability and skills training, sports and social events and vital family support grants across Scotland, as well as helping to overcome life-changing physical injuries.
Over 15,000 men and women leave the British armed forces annually. Whilst a significant proportion of the 220,000 veterans living in Scotland are of retirement age, growing numbers of younger veterans’ families are presenting a wider range of complex support needs.
In encouraging the local community to attend later this month, Gary Seath, Founder of the Captain David Seath Memorial Fund, emphasizes how important giving simply one hour can prove in supporting the cause:
“We warmly invite the local community of Dunfermline and beyond to consider giving an hour later this month to help us to raise funds in support of David’s legacy. That one hour, and small donation of £6, makes a massive difference in ensuring the needs of veterans and their families are met across Scotland, through Help for Heroes. There’s a significant veteran population in the local area, with more than 13,000 veterans in the Fife area alone.
“Through your support, we can help veterans to find meaningful employment and gain training to advance career aspirations, provide grants to help cover life’s essentials, provide mental health support, meet their health and social care needs, and continue to run events and activities that provide much needed camaraderie.”
