'Marching for Charity,
One Step at a Time'
PLEASE WATCH OUR AWARENESS & SUPPORT VIDEO BELOW.
Following the tragic passing of Laura in December, the ‘March for Nations’ expedition has been reshaped to take place within the UK, transforming into a deeply personal tribute as well as a commemorative challenge. In August 2025, veteran Jon James will embark on a powerful journey to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War 2, aiming to raise £60,000 for two vital charities.
This revised challenge will see Jon walk from Snowdon in Wales to the Commando Memorial in Scotland. Along the way, he will summit the three highest peaks in their respective nations—Snowdon, Scafell Pike, and Ben Nevis—covering a distance of 777 kilometres entirely on foot over 17 days. The expedition will culminate in a memorial service at the Commando Memorial on September 2nd, the official end of World War 2, held in memory of both the fallen and of Laura, whose spirit continues to inspire this journey.
