About AddSecure Giving Back - in memory of Coach Pickles
A good hiking friend of my wife and I (William Onion, known to his friends as Coach Pickles) tragically died on 11th November 2023 when he fell from the ridge while climbing Crib Goch in Snowdon. Will was an ex-armed forced veteran who lived his life to the full and shared his passion for the outdoors to build an incredible hiking community – as you can imagine his untimely and heartbreaking death has left an unimaginable hole for his family and friends.
Coach Pickles was a truly great man whose positivity and zest for life was unmatched. His default position of always going above and beyond to inspire, motivate and help others was epitomised by his passion and involvement in supporting the charity Rock2Recovery. Rock2Recovery’s make a massive difference in saving and changing the lives of those in our Armed Forces, our Veteran Community, the Emergency Services and their families who are affected by stress and I am delighted that I have managed to get 7 of my colleagues from work to go out for a day of hiking and chat (will a celebratory drink or two at the end!!) to raise some money for this great charity while at the same time honouring everything that Will stood for in the way that he lived his life.
Fundraising Information
This fundraising page benefits the following good cause:
Rock 2 Recovery, was formed in 2015 by Jamie Sanderson and Jason Fox, after they both experienced their own battles with stress after transitioning from the Royal Marines.
Our mission is to save and change the lives of those in our Armed Forces, our Veteran Community, the Emergency Services and their families who are affected by stress. Our purpose is to inspire and coach towards a more positive future.
Sessions are free to our clients and so fundraising has a vital part to play for us.
Following our unique experiences, we recognise the need for rapid preventative interventions, specific coaching and assistance.
Our non-clinical approach is aimed at inspiring, coaching, motivating and supporting individuals to experience real and positive change in their lives by "rethinking your thinking". We encourage everyone to engage in their own recovery and find their "rock".
Join our wonderful community of inspirational people from all walks of life, who encourage each other to achieve personal goals, including Service people and Veterans who’ve been affected by stress themselves. We could not provide the support to those who need us without our supporters and fundraisers, some who have used the service and want to give back and others who have been inspired by stories they have heard about the work that we do.
All of us at R2R thank you for your efforts and for every single penny raised, we couldn't do it without you!
