On the 20th May our team of 25 Veterans from all seven Household Division regiments will be taking on this 110km ultra-marathon across the volcanic island of São Miguel in the Azores. Our team includes veterans from their 20s to 70s, some who were shot or blown up on operations and others with PTSD and other mental health problems. The team members have done a combined 70 operational tours in war zones including Northern Ireland, Cyprus, Bosnia, Kosovo, Somalia, Iraq, Afghanistan and Ukraine. They all share a willingness to put themselves through an enormous amount of pain to help raise awareness and much-needed funds for their fellow veterans in need.

We are raising money for SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity. SSAFA, has been providing lifelong support to our Forces and their families since 1885. Last year our teams of volunteers and employees helped more than 79,500 people in need, from Second World War veterans to young men and women who have served in more recent conflicts, and their families.

Thank you for your support!
