The Next Step - Veterans Transition

12/07/2026

Please help me secure some funds for our wonderful Charity- Pilgrim Bandits Charity.
We are taking 18 injured veterans on a life changing trip to Vietnam in August and are planning on bring their families out to share the final week to thank the wonderful wives, husbands and children for all the support they give but never get thanked.
With your donation you can help a veteran, undertake a challenge that includes kayaking along the Vietnamese coast, followed by a few days living in jungle taking in the wildlife and tranquility along the jungle creeks.
We will then meet up up the families and spend some much sought after time together thanking the very people that support our injured veterans every day - the families.
Please help support this wonderful project.
