Events Calendar
Our calendar has everything you need to start a Longest Day 80 challenge, even if you're unsure what to do. For challenge inspiration, check back daily for new events throughout the month of June.
Day 01 - Introduction
By WWTW Fundraising on
Welcome to the Walking With The Wounded Longest Day 80 activity calendar.
We are thrilled to have Dave "Monkey" Moncrieff, an RAF veteran and Invictus Games UK athlete, as our campaign ambassador. Dave will guide you through the daily activities we’ve curated for you.
Even if you already have a personal challenge in mind, use this calendar as a motivational tool to stay focused throughout June.
Our first fitness challenge kicks off on 02 June. Use today to prepare: outline your goals for June and think about how you’ll stay motivated. Take this opportunity to do some upper, mid, and lower body stretches. Stretching is essential as it prepares your muscles, tendons, and joints for physical activity, reducing the risk of injuries like strains and sprains.
What is Longest Day 80?
Inspired by the number 80, we encourage you to get as creative as possible with your fundraising efforts. Challenge yourself while incorporating the number 80 in unique ways.
Consider running or cycling eighty miles in June or commit to eighty minutes of exercise daily or weekly. Tailor this challenge to suit your abilities.
Join us throughout June as we share daily activities centred around fitness, well-being, and connection, encouraging you to push your boundaries and go that extra mile.
How can I share my challenge and milestones?
When you’re ready, you can let us know what your challenge plans are for the month by tagging our social channels on Facebook, Instagram, and X! You can also use our campaign hashtags #WWTWLD80 and #LongestDay80
We also have some fundraising tips and don't forget to share your leaderboard progress by keeping track of your position.

Day 29 - Reach Out

Welcome back! If you’ve followed us throughout June, we want to thank you for your dedication, participation, and positive impact. Together, we honour their legacy.
Today marks our last challenge and we are bringing everything full circle by asking you to reach out to a friend - old or new - once again.
Why this matters
We’ve included this challenge twice to emphasise the importance of connection and remembrance. Taking the time to reconnect with others strengthens bonds and keeps the memory and legacy of those we honour alive.
