The Staffys

We Are The Staffys

We're taking part in the Frontline Walk: The Western Front. We'll be trekking 100km following in the footsteps of those who fought on the Somme and The Staffys: Two Mates, 100km and a £3,000 Mission

In October 2027, my buddy and I will be lacing up our walking boots and heading to France and Belgium for the ABF Frontline Walk: The Western Front.

Together, we are The Staffys — two mates taking on 100km with a shared determination to honour those who served and support the Army family of today.

Our team fundraising goal is £3,000 for the Army Benevolent Fund.

The boots will need breaking in, the legs will need training, and there’ll undoubtedly be plenty of banter along the way. But behind our team spirit is a cause we both take seriously.

We’ll be following in the footsteps of those who fought on the Somme and Passchendaele battlefields during the First World War. Walking through these landscapes will give us time to reflect on the courage, loss and sacrifice associated with them, and to remember the people behind the history.

We expect this to be an emotional journey as well as a physical challenge. There will be moments for conversation and companionship, and others for quiet reflection.

Taking it on together means having someone beside you when the miles begin to bite. A bit of encouragement, a shared laugh and the determination to keep each other moving will all be part of The Staffys’ approach. We’re a team, and we’ll be working towards that finish together.

Alongside remembrance, we’re walking to make a difference today. The Army Benevolent Fund, the National Charity of the British Army, supports soldiers, veterans and their families when they need it most.

That gives every training walk and every mile of the challenge a purpose. With your help, we want to turn our effort into support for those facing difficult times.

Please cheer on The Staffys by making a donation towards our £3,000 team target. Whatever you can give will be greatly appreciated. Sharing our fundraising page will also help us reach more people and bring us closer to our goal.

Thank you for backing us, encouraging us and helping us make those miles count.

Two mates. One team. Walking in remembrance, together in support.
