We are the Type 45 Destroyer Charity Team which is represented by members of the Royal Navy, BAE Systems and our Industry Partners.

Over the last two years we have completed the Lakes Longest and Loftiest – ‘The L3 Challenge’ (canoeing the entire length of Lake Windermere and then walking to Langdale and then up and down Scafell Pike) and the ‘RnB’ Challenge (rowing across the Solent to the Isle of Wight, cycling the entire perimeter of the island … a total distance of over 65 miles and then rowing back from Fishbourne to Stokes Bay on the mainland) in aid of the Solent Multiple Sclerosis Therapy Centre – a truly worthy and local charity here in Portsmouth who provide much-needed support to those in the region who suffer this debilitating condition.

This year we are continuing our support for the Solent MS Therapy Centre and on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, 5, 6 & 7 November, the Type 45 Charity Team and their dedicated support crew will undertake a 45mile cycle, a 45km run and a 45km row.

Once again, this is going to be a series of long, hard days but we hope to raise a truly substantial amount of money for the Solent Multiple Sclerosis Therapy Centre.

One of the key facilities at the centre is the Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber, which provides a pressurised pure oxygen environment for up to eight people. This treatment is proven to speed up tissue repair, substantially reduces swelling and, for a period, relieves many of the MS-sufferers' symptoms. We hope the money raised will help to fund the continued provision of this essential service.
