My Story

Five dedicated staff members from the Cadet Training Centre Frimley Park are gearing up to take on the Fleet Half Marathon in an inspiring effort to raise funds for the Army Cadet Force Association’s charitable trust. Known for their unwavering commitment to developing young people through the Army Cadets, these individuals are now channeling their determination and teamwork into this 13.1-mile challenge. The Army Cadet Charitable Trust supports a range of initiatives, from funding essential equipment to enabling life-changing opportunities for cadets across the UK. By participating in the Fleet Half Marathon, the team aims to not only raise vital funds but also highlight the importance of the trust’s work in empowering young people to grow in confidence, resilience, and leadership. Training for the event has been no easy feat, with each member balancing their professional responsibilities at Frimley Park alongside rigorous preparation for the demanding course. From early morning runs to group sessions that embody the team spirit of the cadet force, their dedication to the cause is evident. The Fleet Half Marathon, a well-regarded event in Hampshire, will test their endurance, but the motivation of supporting cadets keeps them focused. With the community and Army Cadets rallying behind them, their goal is to raise both awareness and significant donations for the trust. By contributing to their fundraising efforts, supporters can ensure that cadets across the country continue to benefit from the opportunities and skills that the trust facilitates. This initiative reflects the values of the Army Cadet Force itself: courage, determination, and service to others. As race day approaches, the Frimley Park team is calling on friends, family, and supporters to back their mission, emphasizing that every contribution will make a difference to the cadet community they serve so passionately.
