During this episode we sat down with a very inspirational gentleman named Darren Thomas. Darren gave 21 years of his life to the army and 4 additional years working for private security. Darren covered countries like Africa, Afghanistan and Germany during those four years.  During this episode Darren discusses army life, his experience(s) and how this has impacted him as a person. Darren also discusses how the Army approaches Mental Health and what more they could do. Darren found himself in a tough spot where he was contemplating ending it all; Darren talks about this during the podcast also and how it has lead him down the path he currently follows. Darren recently set up a Twitter account and took it by storm! His inspirational videos, banter and every growing #25PressUp Challenge helping raise awareness for PTSD, Anxiety and Depression lasting 30 days per person who has been nominated. On top of this Darren is also currently providing free Personal Training sessions in his local area [The Ynys, Aberdare, RCT]. He has gone on to inspire ourselves to get moving more!
