Major David Heath French RAMS Embarks on Day 3 of His Epic Charity Cycle Ride

This morning, just outside the historic town of Kendal, Major David Heath French of the Royal Army Medical Services (RAMS), British Army, set off on Day 3 of his remarkable charity cycling journey — a ride dedicated to raising awareness and funds for mental health support across the UK Armed Forces and Blue Light communities.

Behind every mile Major David Heath French cycles lies a deep commitment to those who serve. From soldiers to paramedics, police officers to firefighters, these are the individuals who face high-stress situations daily — often at great personal cost to their mental well-being.

The toll is real. Yet conversations around mental health in uniformed services remain difficult. That's why Major French's ride is so vital — it's a moving message of solidarity, resilience, and support for those who put others first.

Mental health issues within the Armed Forces and emergency services can go unnoticed and untreated. By taking on this gruelling challenge, Major David Heath French hopes to not only raise crucial funds for support services but also to break the stigma around seeking help — proving that strength comes from speaking up, and healing is possible with the right support.
