Thomas Stimpson MBE

War Hero Living with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Twenty-six years in the Royal Air Force. Falklands, Iraq, Afghanistan. But when Tom Stimpson (MBE) started collapsing with mysterious seizures, he had no idea what it was. Eventually he was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Since then, Tom has heroically regained much of his health and was one of the first to compete as a mental health patient in the 2016 Invictus Games for wounded service personal. He is also a highly inspiring speaker, aiming to lift the stigma on mental health, especially within the military.
