The Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund (RMCFT) is a charity that has been set up in aid to raise money and funding for serving and retired Royal Marines and their dependants. The charity is governed by serving and retired Royal Marines who ensure that all kind donations and contributions are used in the most beneficial way to help the Royal Marines family.
The RMFCT have set a challenge of raising £6,000,000 by 2014 to denote the 350th anniversary of the Royal Marines.
In recent years, many Royal Marines have been unfortunate to be involved in both tragic and life debilitating incidents. The RMCFT strive to ensure the best possible care is given to those brave soldiers and their families.
On 26th May, the Manchester Detachment of ‘The Royal Marines Reserve’ (RMR) are putting a team together to take part in the BUPA 10k Great Manchester Run. They are in the process of raising money for the RMCFT and will gladly welcome further contributions. The run will be done as a ‘speed-march’ with each Royal Marine carrying the standard fighting order weight.
Glyn Forshaw, the managing director and lead clinician of ‘G4 Physiotherapy & Fitness’ is among one of the runners taking part from the RMR.
