12 Hour Tough Mudder

On June 24th a crack team of four will start Europe's toughest Tough Mudder. This is a 12 hour obstacle course event held at Belvoir Castle in Lincolnshire, it involves participants running/struggling around several loops of very muddy trails and completing various obstacles along the way including ice filled baths, electric shock hurdles to name but a few. Whilst this is very much a personal challenge the aim is also to raise money for the HOPLITE Fund.

The HOPLITE Fund was established in 2007 to support serving members, their families, and veterans of one of the largest regiments in the British Army. The objective of the Fund is to provide the support, facilities and activities to enhance the wellbeing, health and welfare needs of our people.

Recent activities have included; providing medical equipment to enhance the recovery and rehabilitation of injured personnel, facilitating ‘respite’ breaks for families, enabling counselling services, and routinely endorsing one-off grants to meet immediate needs in times of personal crisis.

As a result of the generosity of our supporters, our people are better able to withstand the stresses and strains of military life. Your support in helping us achieve this is very much appreciated.

The Hoplite Fund is regulated by the Charities Commission. Registered Charity No.1116376.
