Rhys Morrison recently undertook a 15-mile loaded march/walk from Southport to his home in Appley Bridge as a fundraiser for the Head Up mental health charity for the armed forces community.
Rhys, 27, battled his own demons after seven years' active service with the British Army. He has now moved to the Royal Navy as a weapons engineer.

"It can be very challenging within the armed forces so I want to give back something to my friends and colleagues by supporting them."
Rhys was joined on the charity march with lifelong friend Ryan Newton, who's had a long association with Appley Bridge Football Club.
The fundraiser for the Head Up charity can be found on the JustGiving page.
