Pyper’s dad was a serving Private
in The Scots Guards when the baby was diagnosed with plagiocephaly,
a skull deformity that can be corrected IF treated early. The National
Health Service wouldn’t pay for the special (and very expensive)
STAR band helmet that Pyper needed, but the Army Benevolent Fund
did! “I’d just like to say thank you very much really,”
says Pyper’s grateful mother Tasmin Valentine. |

“I’d heard about the Army Benevolent
Fund,” says Corporal Alastair Johnson of 16 Signal Regiment,
“but I thought they just helped old soldiers—Second
World War Vets.” But when a fractured spine turned him
into a paraplegic during his service in Germany, he heard more
about The Army Benevolent Fund. The charity helped with a grant
toward a custom-built, titanium Max Lite wheelchair that accelerated
Johnson’s rehabilitation and got him a spot on a wheelchair
basketball team. |
