Hi, I’m Cpl Reece Devaney from The Defence School of Transport (DST). On the 24th September 2025, I’ll be taking on an extreme challenge to support SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity. I’ll be running 4.2 miles every hour on the hour for 24 hours, covering a total of 100.8 miles and completing 162.24 laps of a 1km route, a true test of endurance, determination, and purpose.

I’m proud to be joined by SSgt Ben Regan from DST, who will be taking on the challenge alongside me. Together, we’re running in tribute to the courage and sacrifices of our Armed Forces and their families.

Every step, every mile, is in honour of the brave men and women who have dedicated their lives to serving our country and for the families who stand beside them.

SSAFA (Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Families Association) is the UK’s oldest tri-service military charity, providing practical, emotional, and financial support to members of the Armed Forces community. Their work is vital offering help when and where it’s needed most, for those who’ve given so much in service to our country.

Please help support SSAFA by donating whatever you can. Every contribution big or small will make a real difference. Together, we can show our Armed Forces community that we’ve got their backs, just like they’ve always had ours. Thank you!
