Introducing Statuscode14!
We are a small group of friends who have similar goals, ethos and a love of adventure who have come together to complete a number of significant physical challenges to raise funds and awareness of a charity which is close to our hearts.
We will be completing an ultra-run, tri-relay, rowing the Atlantic, the Great Norse run and a Hike and Fly from Mont Blanc.
But why?
Have you ever had to make an emergency call for help? If you have, you will have been assisted by one of the many calm and courageous police officers who dedicate their lives to keeping others safe.
Statuscode14 is a UK National Emergency Services radio request call used when the sender requires an urgent callback, help or assistance. But what about the staff behind those emergency calls? They are routinely exposed to distressing and traumatic incidents, alongside demanding workload pressures. Stress and PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) is now well recognised within the military community, but the Police are increasingly falling further behind. Who is there to help them?
Statuscode14 want to enable those who ‘press the button’ to get the help they need both with stress in the short and long term. Funds raised from our challenges will go to our chosen charity, Rock2Recovery who support the cause, and direct to individuals who may not be able to access the support they need through what’s offered by the emergency services.
