Story
On July 25th, Claire and Lisa will be pushed to their limits 200ft from the ground when they take on a terrifying abseil off of Glasgow's iconic Finnieston Crane.
With only a team of marines brave enough to take part alongside these tenacious babes, the GCMB duo will climb the stairs of the gigantic iron-clad beast, brave the elements and dangle their legs from one of the country's tallest landmarks.
A cause close to their hearts, Commando Spirit raises funds for those brave, courageous men and boys who risk their lives every day to keep our country safe. The girls are doing their bit so please sponsor them and help them reach their target.
Life is about challenges. YOLO! See ya'll at the bottom.
Claire and Lisa #Clisa

Where do the funds go?
Commando Spirit’s Take The Leap 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.

What is the Commando Spirit Series?
The Commando Spirit Series of events offers once-in-a-lifetime experiences to test your mettle and gain a rare and privileged insight into what it means to be a Royal Marines Commando today. The events will pit participants against some of the most formidable aspects of the Commando training and stretch them to achieve their fundraising commitments. Participants will be supported by our Royal Marines who will provide motivation and encouragement when the going gets tough.
