Raising Money For

Walking With The Wounded

Why I’m Taking Part

I am completing the 2026 Marathon des Sables, the 'toughest foot race on earth', self supported over 270 KM in the extreme temperatures and terrain of the Sahara Desert. I am raising money for Walking With The Wounded (WWTW) who do amazing work to support Veterans and their families, often in time of crisis and exceptional need.
As a Veteran, I've seen and felt the mental health impacts of war, and I've seen too many of my Veteran brothers and sisters in crisis at home too. WWTW are there when the burden of Service becomes too much, preventing the worst case outcomes, through a range of direct interventions and support packages.
I am proud to be able to do my bit in raising some well needed funds. Anything you can give is hugely appreciated, and I promise you it will go into making a real difference in improving a Veteran's quality of life, safety, mental health and well-being. I appreciate you taking the time to look at my page, and I really cannot thank you enough for anything you donate, big or small - thank you!!

Anything to escape from M******, right? 🤣 Seriously though, strong effort mate, don't forget the sun cream!

Ha! Yes mate, I would rather run across the Sahara than deal with that 😂 I’ll try not to think about it. Thank you for the kind donation mate, it’s very much appreciated. I’ll spin some dits when I get back you’ll be pleased to know!

You nutter! Go for it Wes, love Liam and Pamela x

Thanks to both of you very kind! I’ll be recalling that time we were doing the 100km in the south downs, how we all stopped talking to each other at about 80km in, pitch black and threaders! Good times mate!
