Thousands of truly inspirational people
took on every type of endurance feat
from record-breaking open water
swims, marathons and canoeing
endeavours to multiple mountain
climbs, long-distance cycles and
daring wing-walks — Per Mare
Per Terram (and Per Aerum
(by air)!), raising in excess
of £150,000 (inc gift aid).
We remain indebted, too, to our
many major donors and corporates
who are unfailing in providing RMA –
The Royal Marines Charity with such
a generous level of ongoing support
and outstanding philanthropy.

It was the third and final major
challenge to be created and organised
by Lt Col Gary Green OBE RM before he
retired from active service, becoming
an instant motivator with 176 teams
and individuals pledging to fundraise.

Community fundraising support
was magnified during 2022. This was
largely driven by the Royal Marines
Commando 80 Challenge in celebrating
yet another significant landmark in the
extraordinary life of the Corps — the
80th anniversary of the Royal Marines
taking on the Commando role.

We are privileged to have an
exceptional family of generous
sponsors, dedicated volunteers,
and fundraisers who generously
give of their time and go the extra
mile to help deliver the life-long
and life-changing support the
Charity offers to the Corps Family.
One of the most phenomenal RM
80 Cdo challenges, later recognised
by His Majesty The King, was that
undertaken by Lance Corporal
Luke Grainger from Chivenor,
Devon (aka ‘The Running Marine’).
He ran 60 Marathons in 60 Days
— a total of 1,582 miles —also
becoming the ‘continuity runner’
linking many of the individual unit
RM Cdo80 marathons involving
over 1,000 Royal Marines and
Army Commandos drawn from
all Commando and Reserve
Units between Cornwall and
the Highlands of Scotland.

These include RM Cdo80 sponsors
Patron Capital and Prime Health,
with support from Forces Mutual;
and all those too numerous to
mention individually — many of
which embraced multiple corporate
fundraising events throughout
2022 such as the Charity’s
Leadership Training
and Development
initiative
(Commando
Mindset); annual
Clay Shoot in
Scotland; and
Guildhall Dinner &
Auction in London.
