Story
What is Survive The Yomp? The Challenge takes place on the 12th September 2015 and is an arduous 30 mile hike across tough, rugged and remote terrain in the Scottish Highlands, carrying full commando kit/survival kit (circa 38lbs) - emulates (they spend 3 weeks in the field humping 100lbs loads, living of field rations, getting very limited sleep and being continually tested beforehand !) the final test faced by every Royal Marine recruit in order to be awarded the coveted green beret. Officers must finish within 7 hours and Men within 8 hours. Commando Spirit participants will be tested to the edge of their limitations as they take on this most arduous of challenges in the iconic and arduous terrain around Achnacarry, Scotland - the original "Commando Country" where Commandos have trained since World War II and they don’t call it ‘Commando Country’ for nothing.
I aim to be one of those that complete The Yomp – more importantly and with your help I will raise significant funds for Royal Marines and their families in need.They risk their all for us – will you show your support and sponsor me today? Thank you. If you would like more information on the challenge and how you can join me do visit www.commandospirit.com
Where do the funds go? Commando Spirit’s Survive The Yomp is raising funds for the work of the Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund. The Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund has probably the widest purposes of almost any Service charity – helping the wounded and injured; providing support for those still serving by funding decompression activities, homecoming events and memorials; providing through-life support to those who have left the Corps or have lost loved ones. Quite simply, the Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund will help when others cannot. Do have a look at the video at: The Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1AUo1pnoVM
