Veteran Royal Marine’s Charity Run!

Soul artist, Kenny Thomas and his wife Francisca are trying to raise funds for their daughter’s ongoing medical bills. Christina, was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour with doctors giving her just six months to live. Having rejected non-curing treatments in the UK, Kenny and his wife found help for Christina, from German medical experts. She is now a happy 8-year-old who remains reasonably stable. Their fight goes on to help fund Christina’s ongoing expensive treatment.

Chris Thrall has quickly taken up the challenge to run a hundred miles down the Cornish coast, in order to raise much needed funds. Please support Chris in his tough endeavour by donating to Christina’s Just Giving page.

I’m proud of the boys. At fifty-plus years, we demonstrate the Royal Marines Commando ethos, that we never leave a man (or woman) behind. Be proud to talk about mental-health, because Royal Marines do!

Royal Marines veterans take on the infamous 9-mile speed march

By Cpl (Rtd) Steve Boden RM

An RMA North Devon led team of both current and former Royal Marines recently completed the Spean Bridge Train Station – Achnacarry Speed March in support of RMA – The Royal Marines Charity.

It was also completed to raise awareness of the ongoing Mental Health challenges faced within the RM and across all the Armed Forces. This iconic route was first undertaken by Commando’s during WWII, whereby when individuals arrived at the Spean Bridge Train Station, they had to complete the 7-mile (11Km) route to Achnacarry Castle with equipment and weapons, within an hour. Those who were unsuccessful were returned to their unit the following day. This speed march was not only relevant 80 years ago, but also remains key today were a comparable march (9-mile) is completed as one of the Commando Tests at CTCRM. It remains a rite of passage with gaining the coveted green beret.

My 200-Mile Run To Raise Awareness Of Veterans Homelessness

RUNNING HOMELESS FOR CHRISTMAS

On the 22nd December 2020 I will be running home-less for Christmas. I will run 200 miles around the Brickfields running track in Plymouth – that’s 800 laps – to raise awareness of the UK’s homelessness problem and funds for the Baton veterans charity. I’ve picked a running track to represent the boredom, monotony and endless drudge of being street homeless. I’ve picked Christmas to symbolise the loneliness and lack of empathy that socially excluded people face – not just during the festive season but throughout their lives.

Transcript snippet from ‘My Life In The Death Zone’ podcast

Chris and Nims

C – Nims, how are you brother?

N – I’m good Chris, how are you doing?

C – Wonderful! As I was saying before, one day we can meet in Nepal and do some climbing, and we won’t have to speak over Zoom.

N – Well, we’re adapting, hopefully next year my man. This is positive I’m sure.

C – Yeah, I want to stand on the top of Mount Everest with you.

N – We’re going to make it happen buddy, we’re going to make it happen. ‘

My QUADRUPLE Ironman Challenge!

Dear Friends

My name is Chris Thrall. I’m an author, adventurer and former Royal Marines Commando (link to my bio ). Last year I ran an ultramarathon a day from John O’Groats to Land’s End. This year, on September 8th 2019, I will complete a quadruple ironman distance triathlon.

That’s a 9.6-mile swim, a 450-mile cycle and a 104-mile run – in seven days

I will be highlighting the alarming rate of veterans suicide and raising vital funds for Rock 2 Recovery, a veterans’ mental health charity.

A quadruple ironman distance triathlon will present quite a challenge. I’m not a natural swimmer. The furthest I’ve ever cycled is fifty miles. I’ve not run more than four miles in training as I’m in constant chronic pain from degenerative spine damage and a host of other injuries. But no matter what hardship I endure, it will never be as much as some of our veterans are going through.
