Prime Health is proud to support the Royal Marines Commando 80 Challenge which kicked off on 1 September 2022. Over the next 2 months, all available Commando and Reserve units will be taking part in this epic challenge which will see them retrace their heritage back to 1942 when the Royal Marines (founded in 1664) were first designated as Commando units.

This 80-day event will see Marines undertaking a wide range of challenges including running multiple marathons each day as they traverse the United Kingdom from Cornwall to the Highlands of Scotland with the aim of raising £220,000 in support of the Royal Marines Charity.

This challenge will be a true test of stamina and strength for all involved. As the UK’s Commando Force and the Royal Navy’s own amphibious troops, all those taking part will push themselves to their limit to raise money for the charity.

Prime Health’s Group CEO Andrew Lennox shares his support on behalf of Prime Health, ‘We are proud to sponsor this incredible series of challenges that the Royal Marines are undertaking over the coming months. Commando80 shows how determination and courage can help overcome challenges both physically and mentally and we are proud supporters of these events in aid of the RM Charity. We wish all those taking part the best of luck.”

Royal Marines deploy away from the UK on a regular basis to protect our nation’s interests.  They are a highly effective and flexible force trained to survive and operate in the harshest conditions.  The fact that they can intervene anywhere in the world often comes with a price.  Injuries occur and sometimes those injuries, physical or mental, can be life-changing; that is where the Royal Marines Charity steps in to help and that is why we are supporting this extraordinary challenge.

With a fundraising target of £220,000, the Royal Marines are taking part in this challenge to support their charitable association, RMA-The Royal Marines Charity. You can donate the challenge by clicking the link here.

To help them reach their fundraising target, The Royal Marines are also inviting friends, families and supporters to take on their own challenge from a wide range of events up and down the UK.
