Commando Test Challenge

Hi, my name is Joel Lawrence and I am doing a fundraising event for a family member.

I am raising money for the Booker family in memory of their son, Gideon aged 3, who tragically lost his life in April 2025 due to a pedestrian crash.

Any money raised will be sent directly to the family.

I am an instructor based at the Commando Training Centre, Royal Marines in Devon. Starting on Saturday 28th June 2025, I will be conducting the Commando Tests with a slight spin.

In short,

Saturday 28th June- 6 Mile Endurance course with 21lbs

Monday 30th June- 9 Mile Speed March with 21lbs

Tuesday 1st July- 35 Mile cycle from CTCRM to Okehampton Camp

Wednesday 2nd July- 30 Mile Endurance march 40lbs

On completion of the 30 Miler, 50 mile Cycle from 42 Cdo, Bickleigh Barracks to CTCRM, Lympstone.

I am hoping to raise £2000 and appreciate any support you may have.

Feel free to join me on the cycle back where I'll undoubtedly be hanging out!

Joel.
