To mark the disbandment of 3 Medical Regiment and the subsequent re-designation of 5 Medical Regiment as they take our place in the line as the British Army's Light Role Medical Regiment, the CO of (the current) 3 Medical Regiment will be running with the unit flag from our barracks in Preston to hand it to CO 5 Medical Regiment in Catterick. A total of 119 km, supported by soldiers from the Regiment, were hoping to complete the journey on foot running in true light role style in less than 24 hours.

We would like to support three different charities in equal measure, this being the Commanding Officer's choice:

CASK gene mutations lead to serious neurological disorders where children can't talk, walk or even play. 40% have epilepsy and some require feeding tubes. Our organisation supports UK families and raises money to fund international research into this catastrophic disease.
