BIRKIRKARA, Malta, Jan. 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The deVere Group CEO Nigel Green has announced that he is running the 2011 Land Rover Malta Half Marathon on Sunday 27th February in pursuit of raising funds towards Combat Stress charity organisation for ex-service men, Guillain-Barre syndrome support group which offers support for those affected by the Guillian-Barre syndrome and CIDP, as well as Inspire, a Maltese foundation for social inclusion of adults and children with learning disabilities.

Nigel Green, CEO of the deVere Group, the world's largest independent financial consultancy group, has announced that he will be running the 2011 Malta Half Marathon with the aim of raising funds from worldwide sponsors including deVere partners and deVere staff, for three charities very close to his heart.

The deVere Group offers advice on financial services that may suit medium to long term requirements for investments, savings and pensions. In a similar way to uniting for a common goal, financial planning takes time and focus to achieve substantial benefits. At deVere we understand this, and are well positioned to assist international investors living anywhere in the world.

About Combat Stress

Combat Stress delivers dedicated treatment and support to ex-Service men and women with conditions such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), depression and anxiety disorders. The services are free of charge to the Veteran and since 2005 there has been a 72% increase in demand for the specialist services caring for Veterans' mental health. The charity was founded in May 1919, just after the First World War. When the charity formed, it was ahead of its time. The prevailing attitude to mental welfare was, by today's standards, primitive, even barbaric. Much has changed since then. With a current caseload of more than 4,300 Veterans, the charity has never been busier.

The support group provides information and support to those affected by GBS, CIDP and related conditions. The Guillain-Barre syndrome support group also aims to spread awareness of the illnesses, whilst making grants for research projects.
