What People Say
A journey of remembrance ‘The Ultimate Sacrifice Challenge’.
After 2021's monumental effort and raising over
£168,000 for charity Brian Wood is once again running a marathon a day for those fallen in conflict hoping to raise a total of
£250,000.
Starting on
2nd October 2022, with the London Marathon, Brian will run a total of 35 Marathons, over 35 days, to commemorate the increasing number of lives lost in conflict. Brian is running a total of 917 miles for the British lives lost in the Falklands, Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts.
He will be running with
26 new names on his shirt each day - each mile representing a life lost. The additional 0.2 miles over 35 days is dedicated to the late HM Queen Elizabeth II as a thank you for her service to our great nation.
Any and all support greatly received.

Whether mentally wounded, socially wounded or physically wounded, they deserve the care, support and means they and their families need to function in society, serving in the communities in which hey live, reigniting their sense of purpose and making a positive contribution again. Walking With The Wounded gets those who’ve served – and their families - back on their feet.
We do four things: employment, mental health, care coordination and volunteering which are saving jobs, homes, relationships and lives for the veterans who are struggling since leaving the military.
Our innovative partnerships with the NHS, supporting mental health teams across the UK; the creation of Project Nova with the RFEA to intercept veterans in police custody and reduce reoffending; our own mental health capabilities enabling 121 therapy within days; and our award-winning volunteering initiative OP REGEN, are delivering significant, positive, social impacts across the UK.
