Steve met with The Royal British Legion on Friday 5th November as a March For Honour began it's second leg, leaving Worthy Down for Salisbury.
On 4th November, four teams of serving and ex-serving individuals from each of Her Majesty's Armed Forces began the epic 'March For Honour', which started in four separate locations across the UK. The teams are dedicating and speed-marching a mile for every British military life lost on operations in Iraq and Afghanistan since 2001. Wearing military uniform, each team is marching an average of around 30 miles a day and a total distance of up to 250 miles, carrying forty pounds of equipment.
Steve said: “It is an absolute honour to be asked here today, as the Royal Navy team embark on the 24 mile march to Salisbury.
“We must never, ever allow ourselves to take for granted the work of our troops and organisations such as The Royal British Legion who I know do so much to support our forces and their families.”
The teams will unite along the route before marching into London on 11th November to deliver the Book of Remembrance to the Royal Albert Hall for The Royal British Legion's National Festival of Remembrance. Their target is to raise £1 million for The Royal British Legion.
Steve added: “I wish everyone involved with the March For Honour all the very best, not only in this challenging march, but also in hitting the £1m target.”
