Bandit & Charlie Raise Funds for PTSD
Last year Charlie Hammerton, a former serviceman in the UK, trekked the 84-mile Hadrian's Wall with his ferret, Bandit, and raised nearly £4,000 for the disease that had killed his mom. His success has led Charlie to continue fundraising walks with his little friend.
On September 16, he will be walking from a World War II drop zone for supplies & skydivers in Holland to Arnhem Bridge, where British airborne troops fought against overwhelming odds in 1944. The walk is to raise money for Combat Stress, a charity that offers free treatment to service people suffering from PTSD, depression, or anxiety.
Charlie recently opened up about his own PTSD after serving in the Royal Air Force. He so appreciates the help he received that he wants to help others. His goal is £1,000 (about $1,200 US). Bandit is a big part of his walks, charming supporters and keeping Charlie company. "Bandit has his own passport and is ready to go," said Charlie.
Right now Charlie's site has raised £638 of his £1,000 goal. You can help!! Visit www.justgiving.com/fundraising/charlieandbandit - and tell him ferrets in the US support him and Bandit, too!
