This year 78 Squadron Royal Air Force Benson, have nominated us as their main charity benefactor of the year. They are kicking off their fundraising with the ‘The Three Peaks Stretcher Run’

“We are a team of serving Royal Air Force personnel from RAF Benson in Oxfordshire, We have set ourselves the challenge of completing both the Yorkshire 3 peaks and national 3 Peaks Challenges, in order to raise money for our chosen charities Help for Heroes and UCARE. To make this already arduous challenge even more difficult we will be carrying a stretcher with dummy weighing 80 kgs to simulate a casualty. Our team will comprise of 8 people, 4 carrying the stretcher at a time and 4 resting.”
