Race Across the UK

Countdown to the Race Across the UK: Fundraising Begins!

With zero steps taken but excitement in full swing, We’ve officially signed up for the Race Across the UK—a thrilling four‑day adventure from Edinburgh to Dartmouth (2–5September 2025) in support of the Royal Navy & Royal Marines Charity (RNRMC). 

Now, the real challenge begins: raising £3000 before setting off.

 

Why this matters

Every penny raised goes directly to supporting serving and veteran sailors, marines and their families. 

By fundraising before the race begins, I’ll be carrying not just a backpack but also the support and hopes of every single donor. It turns a physical challenge into a collective mission.

RNRMC relies on our Ambition: funds generated from our effort to continue their crucial programmes—lasting support “for life” for service families. 💡 Fundraising Plan in Motion

Here’s our game‑plan to hit that £3,000 target:

  1. Launch my Funraisin page – automatically set up upon registration, where everyone can donate easily 
  2. Host charity fundraising events – no better excuse to get together for events, with all proceeds going to RNRMC.
  3. Social media campaign – weekly updates, fundraising milestones and a countdown clock to keep momentum.

Get Involved!

🎯 You can help by:

  • Donating via my funraisin page
  • Sponsoring a mile or portion of our journey 
  • look out for me selling football cards to raise funds
  • Joining fundraising events where possible
  • Sharing our journey with friends and family

Every bit helps—and brings us one step closer to hitting that fundraising target before the race even begins. Let’s kick this off right!

What’s Next?

  • Official registration locked in
  • Funraisin page live
  • Planning fundraising events 
  • Commencing our training plan Training

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, and determination!

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!
