Team Forces Children's Trust has a simple mission:
Raise awareness and money for the Forces Children's Trust.
Started by keen, amateur adventure racer and FCT trustee Jeremy Webb , the team enter as many high profile adventure races as possible to gain exposure for the work of the Trust. Joined by experienced Racer Tim Pickering they have competed in a wide range of races including the Original Mountain Marathon, Western Isles Challenge, Highland Cross, Edinburgh Rat Race, Mighty Deerstalker and the Land Rover G4 Challenge.
The adventure racing community are very receptive to the work of the Forces Children's Trust, as many have military ties and understand the commitment and challenges that a life in the Forces demands.
How you can help?
The team needs a main sponsor to cover race expenses, so all money raised can go to support the work of the Trust. Contact me for details.
We occasionally need additional team members. Contact me if you would be interested in joining us on an event.
