Hide AdThe Longest Day 80 campaign, in honour of the 80th Anniversary of the D-Day landings, encourages supporters to engage in fundraising activities based on the number 80 throughout June. Participants can choose personally challenging activities, such as exercising for 80 minutes daily or cycling 80 miles during the month.


Reflecting on his upcoming challenge, David said, “I’m proud to have served in the Royal Navy and experienced a smooth transition to civilian life, but I am acutely aware that many veterans face significant challenges. Working with Walking With The Wounded, I’ve seen the tremendous impact the charity has on veterans and their families. This Longest Day 80 Challenge will be tough but knowing that the funds raised will support those who served makes it all worthwhile.”
