75 years ago I arrived on this planet. So to celebrate this milestone birthday I have set myself a small task of completing 75 Km weekly for the 52 weeks of 2025, using a combination of swimming, cycling, jogging and walking. That should total 3900 Km by 31st December.

Why am I doing this? Being a former Royal Marine and an active member of the Royal Marines Assocaition I come across serving and veteran Royal Marines who have experienced life changing events, both physical and mental, in the service of their country. Some have made the ultimate sacrifice, leaving their family to have to coup with their loss.

As long as I am fit and able, it is my intention to continue to help those who need that extra lift to a better quality of life.

RMA The Royal Marines Charity is reliant on the generous support of our fundraisers to raise vital funds which enables us to continue to deliver the support to our beneficiaries where it is needed most. We offer lifelong support to the RM family: from our serving personnel to our veteran community and their wider families. This support is bespoke to the individual and covers all areas of support needs. Thankyou for choosing to support the RM family and helping us to make a difference.
