We're taking on Race Across the UK to support the Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity!
This September, we’ll be racing from Edinburgh to Dartmouth - navigating only by public transport and our own two feet. No shortcuts, no map apps - just strategy, endurance, determination, a sense of humour and competitive spirit!
But this challenge is about more than just the adventure. We're 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 our challenge and help us raise vital funds for our Naval community!
