Military Memories w/ Gina Allsop
This week I’m talking to British military veteran and adventurer Gina Allsop… Gina has spent most of her life in uniform; from the Army cadets at 13 to serving in the Royal Signals in places like Kosovo, Bosnia and East Timor. After leaving the armed forces, and following a series of traumatic events including the death of her brother to cancer, she undertook a challenge to complete 100 miles for each week of the year, raising money for SSAFA, the armed forces charity that supported her after being knocked off her bike in a hit & run. After the loss of her brother, Gina began to write poetry, and in the years since has created and curated a book of poems, called Military Memories, written by veterans, serving personnel and their families which tell the stories of their lives in the services, to raise money for SSAFA.
