Welcome to the March for Charity web site
| We are a team of UK based American Civil War reenactors who have got together to undertake sponsored challenges to raise money for the ABF, The Soldiers' Charity who raise money for soldiers, former soldiers and their families in times of need. The purpose of this site is to provide news and information about the March for Charity teams endeavours and fund raising efforts as well as to encourage people to donate to the ABF on our behalf. Please take the time to have a look round the site and contact us if you wish. All forms of support and encouragement are welcome, especially financial ones... |  |

A March through History
The March for Charity team having completed the Adidas Half-Marathon on 14 March 2010 at Silverstone in full ACW kit including back packs, guns and authentic footwear are now planning our next endeavour. This time the plan is to have a team of reenactors take part in all of the arena battles and military demonstrations at the "Blasts from the Past" multi period re-enacting event at Broadlands in August 2011. |
| The March for Charity team will have to change quickly between each battle or demo in to
whatever period kit is appropriate and be ready to fight another battle
within minutes of having completed the previous one. This may not sound
that hard but as the event starts at 11am and ends at 5pm with battles
and demos going on virtually continuously this will be no easy task. For more information on this challenge and the half Marathon follow the options in the menu above. For more information on the Blasts from the Past multi period re-enactment event visit the eventplan web site. |
