Help for Heroes Weighted walk 150 miles, 2 July 2023
150 Miles Weighted Walk
Campaign by Help for Heroes (RCN 1120920 (England & Wales) and SC044984 (Scotland))
Based on a style of military training called 'tabbing', your challenge is to walk 150 miles in July with any weight of your choice. You can tailor the weight to suit your ability, from an empty backpack to hand weights and beyond, it's up to you.

Story

Every day, men and women have to leave their career in the Armed Forces as a result of physical or psychological wounds.

Your fundraising helps them recover and get on with their lives. So far we've supported more than 25,000 people and won’t stop until every veteran gets the support they deserve.

The challenge of the weighted walk is to complete a combined total of 150 miles during July while carrying a weighted backpack. I will be carrying a 12 kg / 27lb back pack during my walks completing around 5 miles a day hopefully hitting 150 miles before the end of July.

I have supported Help for Heroes since 2010 and they do fantastic work supporting our military personnel when they need help. H4H provide rehabilitation support for service personnel when their military careers come to an end. They have helped many people in their lives once they are outside the military and given ex service personnel the skills and support they have need to return to civilian life.
