Military vs Cancer 

In September, we embark on a mission that is as bold, determined, and inspiring as the very legacy of the Field Gun itself. The teams who step forward to take on this challenge that will test strength, resilience, and teamwork, know better than anyone that working together can achieve the impossible. Today, we invite you to be part of something truly extraordinary—a challenge that will push the limits of endurance while making a real difference to those currently serving, our veterans, and their families as they battle cancer.

The Challenge

Commencing 01 September 2025, we will take on a task worthy of those who have come before us. We will pull a 1-ton field gun from John O’Groats to Land’s End—over 1000 miles of grit, endurance, and sheer determination. We take on this journey because it is hard—because it represents the hardship, the battle, and the heartache that cancer brings to so many lives. This is our opportunity to stand together, to fight together, and to make a difference.

Why We Need You

This is where you come in. We need your strength and your resolve to achieve this incredible mission together, so we need you to help pull the gun and provide support.

We have already secured key logistical elements—including Babcock International for 3 x support vehicles, Forces Mutual for insurance, PRG Trailers for gun transport and Chevron Traffic Management for a welfare van & driver- we are looking for support in the following areas:

• People to pull the gun
• Drivers for the support vehicles
• Safety numbers
• Sponsorship

Please see route below and details of how people can have a seeded heart with their loved one’s names carried in the gun carriage and have their loved one’s name added to the crew t-shirts.

How to Get Involved

Just as teams of the past worked together to achieve the impossible, so too will we, join us, be part of history. Let’s achieve the seemingly impossible together to make life more possible for those affected by cancer. Visit www.militaryvscancer.com for more information.
