Tom Score is fundraising for the Taxi Charity by walking 100 miles across the Western Front

This July, Tom Score will be walking 100 miles across the battlefields of the Western Front to raise money for the Taxi Charity.

The Taxi Charity is run by volunteer London licensed taxi drivers who give up their own time to transport military veterans to commemorations, reunions and remembrance events in the UK and overseas. These trips allow veterans to revisit places that shaped their lives, honour fallen comrades, share their stories with younger generations and receive the recognition they deserve. None of this would be possible without fundraising and donations.

Thanks to the Taxi Charity, Tom had the privilege of meeting WWII veterans, and veterans from more recent conflicts. He found listening to their experiences first-hand to be inspiring and humbling. He felt that their courage and sacrifice should never be forgotten, and this walk is his way of giving something back.

On 20 July, he'll set off from the Menin Gate in Ypres, walking 100 miles across some of the most historic and poignant battlefields of the First World War. Ten days later, on 30 July, he'll finish at the Thiepval Memorial on the Somme.

Along the way he'll visit countless cemeteries and memorials, following in the footsteps of those who fought and fell. His route will take him through places forever etched into military history, including Messines Ridge, Fromelles, Rue du Bois, Loos, Vimy Ridge and Arras.

Every mile will be a reminder of the sacrifices made by so many, and every donation – no matter how large or small – will help the Taxi Charity continue its vital work supporting military veterans.
