Go the Distance

When you sign up for Go the Distance it’s your opportunity to:

• Put your stamina, fitness, strength and initiative to the test and push yourself to your limits. And have some fun doing it!
• Give something back to the ex-Service men and women of St Dunstan’s and the members of the emergency services whose eyesight has been lost or severely damaged.

St Dunstaners Ray Hazan and Simon Brown were guests of the Metropolitan Volunteer Police Cadets at their annual awards ceremony held at Kensington Great Hall on Sunday 22nd November. Ray and Simon had previously joined the cadets on their cadet challenge event which took place in London in March.

Ray was presented with a cheque for £8,352 which the cadets had raised through sponsorship. The challenge involved crossing the bridges spanning the Thames from Tower Bridge to Vauxhall Bridge and over 150 cadets took part.

Go the Distance is about much more than raising funds. It’s about understanding the valuable work St Dunstan’s do and how you can contribute. Your commitment to the challenge will ensure that more people are aware of the wonderful support
St Dunstan’s provides for a group of truly courageous and remarkable people.

At the same time, you’ll earn national recognition and respect for the Cadet Force and prove your worth as a Cadet, a citizen and an individual.

St Dunstan’s, the charity for blind ex-Service men and women, created Go the Distance because it recognises the same qualities of courage and self belief in the cadet force that characterises the people it supports.
