   Posted on 9:30am Friday 18th Mar 2016

   A veteran support and fundraising organisation set up by paralysed Iraq veteran, injured when his vehicle was blown up by an IED and followed up by small arms engagement.

   You may be interested to read "My Story" written by Chris Baker to raise awareness for vetetans and the struggles they face.
   
   It's all about his life in the Army, suffering a life changing injury, how he collapsed mentally and physically with all the struggles he faced to what hes trying to achieve now with setting up BRAVE.
