Story
Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. Project 65 has been set up to raise money for a variety of charities: Royal British Legion, BLESMA, Army Benevolent Fund, RAF Benevolent Fund and St Dustans. All are charities involved in the care of wounded ex-servicemen. The aim, in the 65th anniversary year of D-Day, is to raise £500,000 for these charities and recreate the assault on Pegasus Bridge at 00:16 hours on D Day. To do this the runners will complete a 65 mile ultra- marathon from the origional staring point at Tarrant Rushton airfield to Pegasus Bridge near Caen France. The only possible opportunity for rest will be on the ferry from Portsmouth to France. The final 3 mile run will be at night and each runner will bear the name of a member ot the origional assault party, arriving at the bridge at the exact hour of the initial landing. The only +ve note for such a long run is that we will at least arrive to some friendly faces not potential enemy fire! More details can be found on the website www.project65.net
