Vitality Big Half Marathon runners
In March 2020, staff at the Royal Hospital Chelsea took on a half marathon run in order to raise funds for the new Activities centre for the Royal Hospital Chelsea. Six runners were cheered on by friends, family and Chelsea Pensioners and together managed to raise £6,000.
Reps to Remember
Whilst undertaking a tour of duty in Afghanistan, Staff Sergeant Stephen Hughes carried out a fitness fundraising challenge and raised almost £5,000 for the Royal Hospital Chelsea. Stephen completed 20 days of ‘Reps to Remember’, which saw him carry out 453 40kg squats, a 4.53km 100kg sledge pull and 453 tricep dips.
Marathons
Every one of our Marathon runners is considered a Fundraising Hero for the Royal Hospital Chelsea. We’ve had people running races across the country and we cheer on everyone we can. We would like to thank Dean Guidera, Rachel Webster, Beth Williams, Joanne Whittle, Sarah Cox, Adam Williams and Sam Danton. If you would like to run a Marathon for the Royal Hospital, please find out how on our Fundraising Page.
Three Peaks Challenge
In May, ex-Forces personnel Ben Mead and his team completed the Three Peaks Challenge, which involved climbing the three highest summits in the UK within 24 hours. This gruelling challenge saw Ben’s team raise over £1,000 for the Chelsea Pensioners.
