Why do we do it!!! What drives the Absolute Dental Team in their Charitable quests

Commando Challenge

On October 5^th 2013 a team from Absolute took part in The Commando Challenge, a 4 kilometre course of pools, pits, tunnels and lots of mud! As well as being great fun and a tough challenge, The Commando Challenge is first and foremost a charity event held by the Royal Marines from  their nearby Commando Training Centre who still use this world famous Endurance training course on Woodbury Common near Exeter to train new recruits - and once a year in October they uniquely allow members of the public to try it themselves and supports three very deserving charities:

Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund

Helping the wounded and injured in any way we can, particularly as the most severely injured begin their transition into civilian life; quite simply, the RMCTF will help when others cannot.

Helping those still serving and facing successive tours in high threat environments - providing adventure training for those returning from operations, funding homecoming events, financing memorials, maintaining our heritage etc.
 
C Group supporting the rehabilitation of injured royal marines.

Support any Royal Marine whose military career is ended prematurely due to injury, however the injury is incurred.

Support serving and former Royal Marines, their families and dependants who are in conditions of need, hardship or distress.

Assist serving and recently discharged Royal Marines to resettle into civilian life.

The Devon Air Ambulance Trust is the Charity which raises the funds to keep 2 emergency Air Ambulances flying.

This is a charity which we are all in great support of due to our out of work hobbies, Emma, Rhod, Diane, Maureen and Rachael are all keen horse riders, Ruth is a keen cyclist and sea swimmer, Bill is quite often out on his boat fishing and I love to walk on Dartmoor. We are all aware that we live in a beautiful part of the world (we are VERY lucky!), but that often means we are in remote quite remote spots with difficult road access. The Devon Air Ambulance flies 365 days of the year, when needed, and we support this whole heartedly as we never know when we or one of our loved ones might require its help!
