Hello Luis. What is the SAS Fan Dance and why are you taking part?
“It is an intense route is known for its role in UK Special Forces selection, and it’s one of the most amazing challenges I’ve faced. It is not only as a personal test but also a chance for me to support a cause that’s deeply important to me, our younger generations mental health”
We are incredibly grateful you selected ACAMH, but why us?

How can people help?

So, even if you can’t donate you can still help by spreading the word, and by sharing information about it. Even sending words of encouragement can help, you can find me on LinkedIn if you’d like to wish me well.”
