The Queen Elizabeth is the receiving hospital for all of the UK's military when either injured or ill. Whilst at the hospital patients and their families can stay at Fisher House and be supported by the staff there. This amazing facility enables patients and families to use the home away from home located within a few minutes walking distance of the hospital wards.
2023 sees the House celebrate its 10th anniversary. During this time it has welcomed 7,000 guests and provided 40,000 nights of accommodation.
Fisher House does not receive either MOD nor NHS funding and relies solely on charitable donations. It costs the charity £40 a night to provide accommodation to a family.
This challenge covers 100 miles over 4 days in the height of summer carrying at least 15kg of kit. It is the largest civilian and military march in the world with over 45,000 civilian walkers and 5,000 military. The event attracts over 2 million visitors which creates a very special atmosphere.
The team has trained hard and qualified through the UK 50 mile event so look out for updates on our journey on the 105th Vierdaagse.
Help us support Fisher House by raising enough to cover the cost of one room for a month.
