The Royal British Legion

Hello, my name’s Luke, I’m 16 and I’m a Flight Sergeant in the Royal Air Force Air Cadets.

Being part of the Air Cadets has given me so much insight into service life, our nation’s history, and the sacrifices people make to keep us safe. It’s inspired me to work towards joining the Royal Air Force in the future — and it’s also made me want to give back right now.

To raise funds, I’m running  5 kilometres every single day until  11 November.

The Royal British Legion supports current serving personnel, veterans and their families. Many people who have served carry physical injuries or mental‑health challenges long after their time in uniform ends, and some struggle with housing, finances or everyday support. The Legion provides practical help, advice and care, plus they help us remember those who never came home.

Even though I haven’t served myself yet, I know these people deserve our backing. My goal is to help the Legion keep reaching everyone who needs their support.

Every donation, big or small, makes a real difference. Thank you so much for your support — it means the world 

The Poppy Express is into it's eleventh year.

We started with two......my wife Barbara and I, Denis, we now have almost twenty volunteers.

We need your help in supporting our armed forces and veterans who are in need after defending our country loyaly.

Who are we?

East Midlands University Officer Training Corps is a British Army Reserve unit that offers paid leadership, military, sport, and adventurous training for university students across the East Midlands.

Why are we fundraising for the RBL?

Every donation helps to support those who serve and their families, whatever the need, whenever it’s needed. The RBL is working hard to support the most vulnerable in our society, from older veterans, those who suffer from social isolation, or those who are simply overwhelmed by the challenges associated with the cost-of-living crisis. RBL's support is a lifeline for thousands of serving & ex-serving personnel & their families.

How will the funds be used?

As stated above, the RBL will use the funds we generate to support service personnel and their families. The money we raise will go directly to the RBL, making every donation count.

When and where is the bike-athon taking place?

The 24 hour bike-athon will commence at 14:00 on the 29/10/2026 and will end at 14:00 on the 30/10/2026. It will take place on the main campus square at the University of Leicester.

Hi, my name is Anmol Gurung serving in the British Army with the RLC. This November, I am taking a personal challenge to honour our veterans, remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice, and show my appreciation for everyone who has served and continues to serve our country. My challenge is to run or walk 10 kilometers everyday from 1-30 November 2026, completing a total of 300km in 30 days. I am undertaking this challenge in support of the Royal British Legion, a charity that provides vital assistance to serving personnel, veterans and their families. My initial fundraising target is £500, and every donation, no matter how small, will help support the Army Forces community. This challenge is my personal way of showing respect, gratitude and appreciation to those who have served before us. Whether you donate, share my fundraising page or simply offer encouragement, your support would mean a great deal to me. Thank you for supporting my 300km Remembrance Challenge and the Royal British Legion.

30 Days, 300 Kilometers. One Cause.

Lest We Forget.

I am planning to take part in the Iron Butt RBLR 1000 mile challenge, This is 1000 mile journey on my motorcycle with waypoints on the journey. The aim is to complete this within 24 hours. This is taking place on the weekend of 4th June 2027.

I aim to do a Home Ironman 70.3 before I join the RAF!

Hi I'm Frazer, better known as 365Frazer on TikTok, and I am Fundraising for the Royal British Legion as it's very close to my heart. After recently running my first half marathon, just like any runner, I want to do another big challenge but a step higher. An Ironman 70.3!

Over the next few months, I will be training and filming everyday on TikTok as evidence and to make awareness for the Royal British Legion.

I have set myself a tight time frame, but I am really buzzing to do this and will throw myself at it. However, I am not a swimmer, so if for some unforseen reason I am unable to complete this challenge, I will stop because I dont want to get injured before I start the RAF. So my first task is to build up my swimming and then to train doing the 3 sports together.

On Remembrance Day, 11th of November, we pay tribute to all those people lost in the past wars. I am fundraising for the RBL because they help families, service men and women after they have supported, protected and served the United Kindom, throughout the year, and should be thought about more often. This is very close to my heart. 1 of the main reasons I have joined the RAF is to help people around the world for humanitarian issues and conflicts.

I am very passionate about the RBL and the work they do, and so therefore I will push and push to make this achievement happen. I aim to inspire others to start fitness, join the RAF, help the people who have protected this country, while setting a personal goal.

So please support the RBL by donating to this page. Use social media and get the awareness it needs out into the public!!

Hi everyone,

I’m Martin — and this cause really matters to me because I’m an ex-soldier, formerly of the Royal Engineers.

After leaving the service, I fell on hard times. The Royal British Legion was there for me when I needed it most, supporting me in ways I can’t fully thank them for. That’s why I’ve decided to give back: in just a few weeks, I’ll be taking on a solo walk of Hadrian’s Wall to raise funds for this incredible charity.

I’m not asking for the world — just whatever you can spare. Times are tough for everyone right now, but even 50p makes a difference; every penny adds up and goes directly to helping others who’ve served, just like the Legion helped me.

Thank you so much for reading my post and considering supporting such a worthwhile cause.

Many thanks,

Martin.

Running a Marathon for the Royal British Legion

On 22 August, I'll be taking on the challenge of running a marathon to raise money for the Royal British Legion.

As a serving member of the Royal Engineers, I've seen firsthand the importance of supporting those who have served our country and their families. The Royal British Legion provides lifelong support to serving personnel, veterans, and their loved ones, offering practical, financial, and emotional assistance whenever it's needed.

Marathon training has required months of dedication, discipline, and perseverance. Every mile I run is an opportunity to support a charity that makes a real difference to the Armed Forces community.

Every donation, no matter the amount, will help the Royal British Legion continue providing vital support to those who have sacrificed so much. If you're able to contribute, I'd be incredibly grateful. If you can't donate, sharing this page would also mean a great deal.

Thank you for your support and encouragement—it will help keep me going every step of the way.

Want to join me in making a difference?

On the weekend of the longest day, I’ll be walking as closely as possible around the full perimeter of Isaac Newton Ward to raise money for The Royal British Legion.

Isaac Newton is a large rural council ward, stretching across villages, lanes, fields and countryside, so this is no mean feat. The route will surpass 30 miles, and I’ll be doing it in aid of veterans, serving personnel and their families.

Any donation, large or small, would be hugely appreciated and will help make a real impact. Please do chip in if you can.

The Royal British Legion works hard to support some of the most vulnerable people in our society – from older veterans, to those experiencing social isolation, to serving and ex-serving personnel and families facing the pressures of the cost-of-living crisis. Their support is a lifeline for thousands, and they can only continue this work with our help.

Thank you in advance for supporting a cause that means a great deal to me.
