The Challenge
Commencing 01 September 2025 a combined total of over 1300 personnel made up of serving military, veterans and supporters will pull a 1-ton field gun from John O’Groats to Land’s End—over 1000 miles of grit, endurance, and sheer determination. They take on this journey because it is hard—because it represents the hardship, the battle, and the heartache that cancer brings to so many lives. This is our opportunity to stand together, to fight together, and to make a difference.
What is involved
The gun will be pulled 20-25 miles daily (Monday to Friday only) and requires 20 x personnel to pull, 6 x drivers, 2 x safety numbers and 1 x medic, a total of 29 personnel a day. Accommodation and food will be provided where required and all we ask is each volunteer raises £100 for each day they take part.
