Their dedication and pride in Ellie’s achievements are clear for all to see.

No matter the result, Ellie has already made her family, Branch family, and Region incredibly proud through her years of faithful service and outstanding representation at local, regional, national, and international events.

Joining the Armed Forces was not on Helen’s career bingo card. Fresh out of university and on her way to the Canadian embassy to finalise her plans for a new life in Canada, she stumbled on the Armed Forces Careers Office. Before she knew it her curiosity had landed her a place in the Royal Navy, and her life changed forever.

This was 2001, shortly after the Twin Towers fell. Life in the Armed Forces began with deployment to Iraq with the Nursing Service.

After meeting her future husband, Helen was thrown another curveball when she fell pregnant. She left the Navy to get married and start her family.

Sadly the marriage broke down some years later, leaving Helen alone with her nine year-old daughter, wondering how she would make ends meet. Luckily she had a friend who recommended calling the Royal British Legion.

“Within two or three days, I got vouchers through the post and furniture to be able to move into my first house as a single mum, and a new bed for my daughter.”

“It just gave me that little bit of self back”, Helen told us. “I didn't have to worry about where my finances were coming from. I could just concentrate on coping with the situation.”

The support Helen received allowed her to prioritise her daughter, and now, it’s Helen’s turn. Chasing the pinnacle of a love of running that’s been years in the making, she’s taking on the London Marathon to give back to the cause that helped her get back on her feet.

Helen cares deeply for her Armed Forces community, and is determined to endure all the challenges along the way to raise funds and awareness for RBL’s support services.

“I will do everything - the tears, the wind, the rain, even the snow - it means nothing compared to what RBL have done for me.”

Helen, we are so proud to have you on Team RBL ❤️ If Helen’s story sounds familiar to you, remember that we’ve got your back. Give us a call on 0808 802 8080 if you need support.
