Ryan Yard: “I recently set up a YouTube channel for a hobby and was amazed by the number of wonderful people I have met. One of these was Russ Green and we began talking about his experiences with PTSD. As a musician with my own mental health issues I felt very passionate about combining my music with his cause. After discussing his links with PTSD Resolution it seemed like the perfect cause to raise money for.”
“I set to work composing music for an album that would be a gift to anybody that chose to donate and in the process offer beautiful music that could be enjoyed long after donations had been collected. I have enjoyed the process greatly as music is a form of therapy for me and if it can raise money for a good cause whilst offering joy and happiness to others then I feel I will have achieved my goal. The album will be available to download for those that donated May.”
