About Dean Burchell
I'm Dean, I joined the Royal Marines in 2000, dislocated, both shoulders (at the same time!) and damaged my neck in Norway in 2009! After multiple dislocations and surgeries, I was finally medically discharged in November 2014. Initially a little despondent with the Corps, I left and established my own company in fitness and nutrition, which is going well. I then decided to give a little back in 2019 to the RM charity and Rock 2 Recovery by climbing Mt Blanc. Raising £25,000 with a team of 6. COVID hampered all other challenge plans I've had since then! I found myself needing the expertise of Rock2Recovery during 2020 and 2021 and I’d love nothing more than to raise Money for the organization to continue helping the men and women of the military and blue light services.
The 12 in 6 is challenge is 12 challenges in 6 months.
1st - 8th April: 4 mountain hikes in 8 days, Madeira, the Portuguese island just off the West coast of Africa. Covering a total distance of; 43 miles and an elevation of 7448 meters.
26th May - 6th June: The veterans games in Israel where I’ll compete in cross fit, swimming and shooting.
10th June: Hyrox doubles, New York City.
11th June: Hyrox Singles, New York City.
31st July: Longest via Ferrata climb, Switzerland.
2nd August: Longest via Ferrata climb, Italy.

23rd September: The final event taking place in my homeland, Cornwall with the official Rock 2 Recovery coast hike from Boscastle to Rock.

Fundraising Information
This fundraising page benefits the following good cause:
Rock2Recovery
Rock 2 Recovery, was formed in 2015 by Jamie Sanderson and Jason Fox, after they both experienced their own battles with stress after transitioning from the Royal Marines.
Our mission is to save and change the lives of those in our Armed Forces, our Veteran Community, the Emergency Services and their families who are affected by stress. Our purpose is to inspire and coach towards a more positive future.
Sessions are free to our clients and so fundraising has a vital part to play for us.
Following our unique experiences, we recognise the need for rapid preventative interventions, specific coaching and assistance.
Our non-clinical approach is aimed at inspiring, coaching, motivating and supporting individuals to experience real and positive change in their lives by "rethinking your thinking". We encourage everyone to engage in their own recovery and find their "rock".
Join our wonderful community of inspirational people from all walks of life, who encourage each other to achieve personal goals, including Service people and Veterans who’ve been affected by stress themselves. We could not provide the support to those who need us without our supporters and fundraisers, some who have used the service and want to give back and others who have been inspired by stories they have heard about the work that we do.
All of us at R2R thank you for your efforts and for every single penny raised, we couldn't do it without you!
