On the 17th July, to raise money for the Royal Marines Charity, I will part of a group to complete the Royal Marine Commando Challenge.

I believe all those who stand on a wall and say, “nothing is going to hurt you tonight, not on my watch” deserve high respect, as do their families. Part of the Royal Marine Charities mission is to provide lifelong support, advice and friendship to both retired and serving Royal Marines and their families and to generate access to employment.

The charity provides support for those who served through their darkest days, and I encourage you to donate what you can to help continue the excellent work they do.
