Ypres 100

Date of Event: 
18 May, 2012

The Spring, the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry and the Honourable Artillery Company will be joining forces on the Ypres 100 March to raise money for Coming Home.

On the 18 -20 May 2012, four members of the FANY and four from the HAC will march 100km around the Ypres Salient, taking three days to complete the route alongside military and civilian teams from across the world.

All the sponsorship raised by the eight members of the team will be split between the three charities. Half of the money will go to Coming Home, and the remaining money split equally between the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry and the Honorable Artillery Company Benevolent Fund.

Coming Home's Jo and Lewis, with Ypres 100 team members (L-R) Dave Freestone, Mike Cooper, David Lakin, Jessica Beattie (but very recently Lakin!)

By marching a route around Ypres, a town which has dedicated itself to peace and remembrance, the FANY and HAC are joining together to support Coming Home’s crucial work.
