Story
In 2025, we will mark a significant milestone—80 years since VE and VJ Day—celebrating the remarkable bravery of the Royal Marines and all those who served during World War II. Their motto, "Per Mare, Per Terram" (By Sea, By Land), embodies their unwavering courage and relentless dedication to completing their missions, no matter the obstacles.
As we honor their legacy, we also celebrate the spirit of the millions of women who stepped up on the home front during World War II. This year, our team of military spouses, family, and friends will embark on an inspiring journey: walking or running 88 miles along the breathtaking yet challenging South West Coast Path.
Our mission is clear—to raise essential funds to support the mental health and well-being of our military families. Together, we aim to foster connection, community, and a shared purpose among military spouses and family members. This team endurance event is more than just a physical challenge; it offers participants a common goal, a shared experience, and an opportunity to gain insight into the physical and mental struggles their loved ones can face. For many, it provides something truly meaningful—a sense of belonging and purpose.
This event draws its inspiration from 2015, when a brave wife united spouses, family members, and serving personnel to train and run together. The camaraderie forged during that time still echoes within our community today. Now, ten years later, we are excited to revive that spirit, inviting many of those who participated back then to join us once again.
By participating in this event, you’ll be part of something transformative. It's not just a race; it’s a chance to cultivate pride, confidence, and purpose. It empowers spouses to take ownership of their journey while reinforcing the powerful bonds that unite our community.
The Royal Marines Charity (RMA) plays an essential role in supporting our military members, veterans, and their families. Your generous contributions will not only help us honor those who served but also provide vital resources to those who continue to sacrifice for our freedom.
