The Frontline Walk 2026: The Western Front

I'm taking part in the Frontline Walk: The Western Front. I'll be trekking 100km following in the footsteps of those who fought on the Somme and Passchendaele battlefields during the First World War

I'll be doing this to commemorate the sacrifices made by those who fought in WWI whilst helping to support the soldiers and veterans of today.

It will be a physically and emotionally tough challenge, but I'm doing it all for a great cause: Army Benevolent Fund, the National Charity of the British Army. They support soldiers, veterans and their families when they need it most.

Please cheer me on by making a donation towards my target.

From the Frontline to the Ends of the Earth

Ten years ago, I joined my first Frontline Walk for the Army Benevolent Fund. One walk turned into four, each step honouring those who served before us and raising vital funds for veterans in need.

That journey lit a spark. What began as miles across the battlefields of Europe has grown into a mission to push myself to the limits climbing five of the Seven Summits, and now preparing to ski solo to the South Pole.

The Frontline Walk was where it all began. A decade later, I’m still walking for veterans this time at the very top of the world and the bottom of the planet.
