A dedicated team from the Scots Guards is preparing to undertake a remarkable personal trek along the West Highland Way, starting on 24 August 2026. This challenging 96-mile route will be completed within just three days, with the team averaging an incredible 32 miles each day. What makes this journey truly extraordinary is that they will carry a 50kg dummy named 'FRANK,' symbolizing a wounded comrade being courageously extracted from battle.

This mission is more than just a physical challenge; it is a heartfelt commitment to raise vital funds for three deserving charities. The beneficiary’s are the Scots Guards Charity, who continue to make soldiers lives better whilst serving but also supporting veterans and their families including those killed on operations.

Army Benevolent Fund, an organization that provides essential support to soldiers, veterans, and their families during times of need. Their work ensures that those who have served our country receive the care and assistance they deserve.

Additionally, funds will support Men Matter Scotland, which plays a crucial role in preventing suicide among men in Scotland which a few of the team members have sadly lost loved ones to.

We urgently need your support to help us reach our target of £3,000. Your generous donation will make a real difference in the lives of those who have sacrificed so much for us all. Join us in honoring their bravery and resilience by contributing today—every pound brings us closer to providing hope and help where it’s needed most.
