This June (2025), five veterans from North Devon are taking on an extraordinary challenge—the legendary 15 Peaks Hike in Wales. Over the course of just 48 hours, they will push themselves to their limits, conquering 15 towering summits and covering some of the most rugged and breathtaking landscapes in the UK.
Why Are They Doing This?
This is more than just a hike. These veterans are stepping up to raise vital funds for The Root Cause Project CIC and The Royal Marines Charity—two incredible organisations dedicated to supporting veterans’ mental health and well-being. Transitioning from military to civilian life comes with unique challenges, and these charities provide essential resources, community support, and mental health initiatives to ensure no veteran feels alone.
The Challenge Ahead
The 15 Peaks Hike is a true test of endurance, resilience, and teamwork. Covering over 30 miles and climbing more than 13,000 feet in total elevation, this trek demands physical and mental strength—qualities that these veterans have honed through years of service.
