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

I will be walking 150 miles through the month of July with 25kg in my backpack to help veterans like Trevor. During one particular tour in Afghanistan one of his Corporals (Channing Day) was killed along with a Royal Marine which was, understandably, very difficult to deal with. After finishing this tour he came back to the UK, and in 2015 left the regular Army and attempted to ease into civvie street. He was diagnosed with PTSD in 2017. He said, “I also had the personal pride that so many in the Armed Forces have, in that talking about mental health was often seen as a sign of weakness.' Veterans like Trevor are able to get the help they need thanks to people like you. 

Our charity has already helped over 28,500 veterans not just to get by, but to thrive. And we need your help to continue providing valuable support to more veterans.
