Campaign idea: Maria found strength through sport
After losing her fiancé in a military jet crash, Maria rebuilt through sport and is tackling a 27km coastal hike with their daughter.
This story
Maria served 23 years in the Royal Navy as an aero-engineer. In 2002, her fiancé Jack was killed in a Sea Harrier training accident, leaving her to raise their six-year-old daughter Jill. Physical fitness helped Maria cope with the emotional stress and continue her naval career until 2011. Now, she and Jill are tackling their first 27km hiking challenge along the Jurassic Coast to raise funds for veterans.
