Thirty veterans to march 50 miles for PTSD charities

Summarised from 3 outlets · Updated 2 Nov, 05:57 · Archive

Thirty veterans will march over 50 miles from Royal Wootton Bassett to Winchester Cathedral starting 5 November to raise funds for military charities.

Thirty veterans will march more than 50 miles from Royal Wootton Bassett to Winchester Cathedral over three days starting 9am on 5 November, raising funds for Care for Casualties, Rifles Trust and PTSD support charities.

The route takes marchers to Marlborough on the first day, then from Pewsey at 9am on day two to Bulford Camp. On the final day, they depart from Wherwell or Chilbolton at 9am, arriving at Winchester Cathedral at 3.30pm for a celebration.

The veterans will carry an empty stretcher for the entire journey. Organisers say this symbolises the burden of PTSD that many veterans carry.

Supporters are encouraged to show their backing by tooting car horns as the group passes and by making donations. Progress updates will be posted regularly on the Ham & Jam Facebook page.
