The Wookiee
Back From The Dead
Today two former Royal Marines and Falkland Island veterans, Mick Dawson and Steve Grenham, will complete a challenging circumnavigation of part of the Falkland Isles in kayaks, visiting significant locations from the Falkland War, 35 years after the duo both served in the conflict.
The goals of the project reach far beyond the physical though; Mick and Steve plan to use the challenge to highlight and explore the issues of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder amongst the former military community. Steve Grenham has been fighting a long battle with the condition and has struggled to find an effective treatment. It is hoped that the Cockleshell Endeavour will create a structure and purpose that will help him on the road to recovery as he meets the incredible demands of this challenge, whilst also putting a spotlight on the hugely relevant subject of PTSD as a whole in the service community.
Steve is my cousin, he is a Brighton fan and North Stand season ticket holder.
