I'm taking on Race Across the UK to support the Royal Navy & Royal Marines Charity!
This September, Iāll be racing from Edinburgh to Dartmouth with my teammate - navigating only by public transport and our own two feet. No shortcuts, no map apps - just strategy, endurance, and determination!
But this challenge is about more than just the adventure. Iām raising funds for the Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity (RNRMC), who provide crucial support to serving personnel, veterans, and their families. From hardship grants to mental health support, financial assistance to family welfare, RNRMC is there for those who serve or have served, when they need it most.
Every donation, no matter how big or small, will help make a real difference. Please support my challenge and help me raise vital funds for our Naval community!
