Despite his 26-year career as a weapons systems engineer, former RAF Sergeant Leroy had not realised the Fund was there to support veterans just like him. He struggled for months following a multiple sclerosis relapse which left him with severe weakness down his right-hand side of his body, seriously affecting his mobility, and now unable to work.
In March 2019, Leroy suffered a second episode which has left him disabled and unable to work. Now thanks to the RAF Benevolent Fund, life at home is a little more comfortable. Leroy and his wife Sharon can share a bed once more and Leroy has some of his independence back.
