The Gumpathon

2 days ago 6 servicemen, 5 from Britain and 1 from the USA, set off on a 63-day run across America. Starting in New York, they will run 16 to 23 miles every day until they reach their finish line in Santa Monica, California. Inspired by Forest Gump’s epic run across America, this race has been called the Gumpathon.

The brainchild of CSgt Damian Todd RM, this race intends to raise awareness and funds to help injured servicemen. Funds will be used to help the efforts of the charities US Semper Fi Fund, Help for Heroes and the Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund. Donations can be given by text, online or bank transfer.

Find out more about this ambitious run and give generously.
