Writing for Third Sector, Alex Blyth noted the charity has enjoyed a rapid ascent since it began as an overnight brainchild of a married couple – Bryn and Emma Parry.

The organisation, which raises money to support injured soldiers, has been able to do so well thanks to a number of factors, the journalist observed.

Mr Blyth cited Mr Parry, who stated: "I’m determined to keep working on this, to keep raising funds, to keep helping these blokes, these heroes."
