In 2014 the Corps of Her Majesty's Royal Marines will celebrate their 350th anniversary. To commemorate this date, serving and retired Royal Marines Commandos will come together to take part in the 1664 Challenge, an incredible feat of endurance that will test to the limits all 4 elements of Commando spirit; courage, determination, unselfishness and cheerfulness in the face of adversity. It will be our unique ability not to give in but to succeed in the face of adversity that will ensure we complete this challenge and raise the team target of £500,000. The money will go to the Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund, who will use the money to help our wounded and injured, particularly those that have been most severely injured, to begin their transition back to civilian life.
Beginning in February 2014, Royal Marines Commando's will ski 1664km, sail 1664miles, cycle 1664km, canoe the channel and run 1664km a total of 4136miles - Royal Marines will be raising funds for Royal Marines, their injured comrades, so please dig deep and donate now.
