Special Charity Episode: You managing your body, not it managing you. With ABF The Soldiers’ Charity

Today we are going to be doing something completely different.
We’re not going to talk about insurance. Regular listeners will
know that AdvantageGo has been a great supporter of the Voice of
Insurance since the early days of the podcast. But you might not
have known that this excellent technology company is also an
important backer of UK military charity, ABF The Soldiers’
Charity. AdvantageGo is an associate Sponsor of The Soldiers’
Charity’s Annual fundraiser, the Lord Mayor’s Big Curry lunch at
the Guildhall in London, which is a fixture attended and
supported by many in the London Insurance market. It’s the
Soldiers’ Charity’s work we want to showcase here, particularly a
highly successful programme the charity funds in the field of
pain management. So I’m going to introduce two services veterans,
Russ Kirby (pictured bottom right) and Bernie O’Toole (top right)
who have both been through the programme. Russ is a Navy veteran
and Bernie was in the Army. You may find parts of their accounts
distressing, but I would encourage you to continue because you
will be rewarded with a great story of empowerment and optimism.
The pain management programme has given them their lives back and
you will feel their positive energy as they recount drastically
reducing the painkillers, or dispensing with them entirely and
regaining the confidence and optimism to look forward to
productive and satisfying future lives. As Bernie says – the
programme works and it’s worth its weight in gold. NOTES For
worldwide listeners, B&Q is a major UK DIY store. LINKS
