Kev Carr is raising money and awareness about mental health issues. As a private in the Royal Logistics Corp and someone who served in Iraq in 2003, Carr was diagnosed with PTSD. He is heading out on a 1000 mile hike across America for the charity group Walking With The Wounded. He is leaving for the States now, along with two other other British and three American veterans as they walk from Los Angeles to New York.
The trek is actually being backed by Walking With The Wounded patron Prince Harry. To get a spot on the walking team, Mr. Carr had to pass through a strict selection process and an interview. He said, “I have mixed emotions about the walk as this is one of the biggest things I have ever done and it means a lot to me.”
