We’re proud to have Alzheimer’s Research UK as the official Charity Partner for the Commando Series 2026.
Many of our recruits are fundraising as part of their Commando challenge — taking on the course not only with grit and determination, but with purpose.
If you’d like to contribute, you can make a donation to Alzheimer’s Research UK and stand shoulder to shoulder with our fundraising Commandos in the mission to defeat dementia.
Alzheimer’s Research UK is the UK’s leading dementia research charity, dedicated to finding ways to diagnose, prevent, treat, and ultimately cure dementia. Their pioneering work gives hope to the 55 million people living with dementia globally.
This partnership gives every recruit the chance to go beyond the mud and the mission — to help fight a disease that impacts millions of families across the UK and around the world.
Together, we’re accelerating progress towards a cure.
Get to know your obstacles!
