🎖️Crowds at the Worthing 10K cheered on veteran, Ed who bravely walked across the finishing line despite being wheelchair-bound following a stroke. Ed walked the final 100 metres of the route, supported by his wife Vikki, who had pushed him around the course, and his sons, family and friends.

The couple are raising money for Care for Veterans, which has been helping Ed recover from the devastating effects of his stroke in December 2023. They have so far raised £1,475 for the Home.

Thanks to the dedicated team of physiotherapists and Ed’s hard work, the 57-year-old was able to return home in 2024. The dad-of-two still regularly uses the physiotherapy service at Care for Veterans for his recuperation, and staff also helped him prepare for his 10K challenge.

After crossing the finish line, Ed said: “After my stroke, I never imagined I’d be able to do something like this again. Care for Veterans helped me rebuild my life, and walking those last 100 metres meant everything to me.”

His wife Vikki added: “Ed has worked so hard to get here. Seeing him walk to the finish line was incredibly emotional, we’re all so proud of him.”

Ed and Vikki need over £500 to meet their £2,000 fundraising target. To help them reach their goal, go to https://www.justgiving.com/page/vikki-sampson-4

RAF veteran Ed is gearing up for the Worthing 10K happening this Sunday 7th June, and his determination just keeps growing. Last week he trained down on the beach, and even beat his previous time, as he continues working towards walking the final 100 metres on race day.

After months of life‑changing rehabilitation with our physiotherapy team, Ed’s progress is a powerful reminder of what specialist support, hard work and belief can achieve.

We couldn’t be prouder of how far he’s come. 💙

We were delighted to welcome volunteers from the Agena Group during Volunteers’ Week, who helped refresh our gardens and outdoor spaces for residents, families, and visitors.

The team cleared the raised herb bed, planted tomato plants grown from seed by our residents, and sanded and repainted our wooden benches, bringing energy, care, and plenty of smiles.

Their feedback said it all: "it was eye‑opening, rewarding, and a lovely experience with our residents." Our Volunteer Gardener, Wilma, praised their “fantastic job" supporting George and Joe with the new tomato planting.

Clare Silva, High Value Events and Corporate Manager said: "our corporate volunteers are an invaluable part of our charity family, and we’re hugely grateful to the Agena Group for their continued support."

Thank you for making such a meaningful difference this Volunteers’ Week. 💙
