Miles in Memory: Fund Raising for The National Memorial Arboretum

The National Memorial Arboretum

There is no dedicated place where military suicides are marked but a venue for peaceful contemplation and remembering does exist at the 150-acre National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire: A Place for Everyone to Remember. While the National Memorial Arboretum cannot be expected to endorse any campaigning about Lariam, it would be a most appropriate beneficiary from the blisters and aches of this venture. In the future a memorial for military suicides may be created but until then a visit to their grounds provides a valuable place for grieving and negotiating the past and the future. It is also becoming a major educational resource, embracing environmental and ecological themes alongside those of remembrance.

Every donation, however small, makes a difference

As a Registered charity (1043992), the The National Memorial Arboretum, opened in 2001, and must rely heavily on donations and fundraising.
