Fundraising for RMA - The Royal Marines Charity
Story
Survive The Yomp is no walk in the park. Set in the stunning Scottish Highlands around historic Achnacarry Castle, this is a 30-mile hike across rugged and remote terrain; they don’t call it ‘Commando Country’ for nothing.
You can see more of what I will be facing by watching the highlights of last year's Survive The Yomp here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9sXNYj_hLk
Part of the Commando Spirit Series of fundraising challenge events "Survive The Yomp" mirrors the training exercise normally only experienced by Royal Marines Commandos. On 12th September 2015 I am determined to be one of those that Survive The Yomp – more importantly and with your help I intend to show true grit and determination to raise significant funds for Royal Marines and their families in need.
They risk their all for us – will you show your support and sponsor me today? Thank you. If you would like more information on the challenge and how you can join me do visit www.commandospirit.com
Where do the funds go?
Commando Spirit’s Survive The Yomp is raising funds for the work of the Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund. The Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund has probably the widest purposes of almost any Service charity – helping the wounded and injured; providing support for those still serving by funding decompression activities, homecoming events and memorials; providing through-life support to those who have left the Corps or have lost loved ones. Quite simply, the Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund will help when others cannot. Do have a look at the video at:

What is Survive The Yomp?
Survive The Yomp, will see brave participants take on the ultimate final test faced by every Royal Marine in order to complete their training – The 30 miler.
Survive The Yomp, an arduous 30 mile hike across tough terrain in the Scottish Highlands, carrying full commando kit or survival kit, emulates the final test faced by every Royal Marine recruit in order to be awarded the coveted Green Beret. Commando Spirit participants will be tested to the edge of their limitations as they take on this most arduous of challenges. Survive The Yomp offers participants a unique opportunity to experience first-hand the Commando qualities required of one of the world's most elite forces in the iconic and arduous terrain around Achnacarry, Scotland - the original "Commando Country" where Commandos have trained since World War II.
