Rhys joined the Royal Artillery in 2017, before transferring out of the Army and into the Royal Navy, as a weapons engineer in 2023.
Oh the JustGiving page, Rhys said: “This is the first of many challenges I'm doing this year to raise funds for Head Up, which is a charity that has enabled me to have a platform to speak out about my experiences and demons I've struggled with throughout periods of my life.
"Paul from the charity has helped me be vocal in helping others get the help they need. It can be very challenging within the Armed Forces so I want to give back something to my friends and colleagues”
