What This Campaign Supports

The Yomp is not just a grueling 22, 36, or 54-mile hike through the Scottish Highlands in 24 hours. It’s a life-changing experience for the veterans who participate. It provides them with more than just a physical challenge; it reignites purpose, connection, and healing.

“The mission goes deeper than the miles... It's about rebuilding the spirit of comradeship and teamwork that so many miss after service. It's about putting your heart, mind, and soul out there and being there for one another. Our oath never ends. Service NEVER stops!”

— Matthew “Doc” Campbell, USN Veteran

"This wasn’t about the miles walked. It was about the people I had the honor to walk alongside, individuals who have been through more than most of us can imagine, and yet still lead with strength, compassion, humor, and an unwavering sense of purpose. Their resilience and camaraderie reminded me of the power of community and the importance of showing up for one another.

To the Robert Irvine Foundation: thank you for making this unforgettable opportunity possible. And to the veterans, thank you for your service, your stories, and the example you continue to set. I came home with sore feet, a full heart, lifelong friendships, memories that will last a lifetime, and a renewed perspective."

“Have you ever tried to take your own life? It’s not easy… I couldn’t see the future. I could only see pain. The YOMP was something I didn’t know I needed, but it came at the right time. If I had died in that garage with the car running, none of this would have happened.”

— Yomp Participant, U.S. Air Force Veteran

"Going into this epic hike, I was already limping and hurting, but I refused to let that stop me. What kept me going was the incredible energy and encouragement of the people around me. We motivated each other, and that made all the difference.

Somewhere along that descent, something in me shifted. All the demons from my past, the weight of everything I’d been carrying, they just didn’t matter anymore. I stopped, looked out at the Highlands, took a deep breath, and let it all go. And I realized: What matters is today. Right now. You are in a good place. You are not alone. Part of your tribe is here. And God has blessed you tenfold."

- Arabelle Flores, MGySgt USMC, (Ret.)

Why You Should Give

The veteran suicide rate is 57% higher than the national average.

Without connection, mission, and support, many of our heroes feel lost when the uniform comes off.

“Without the opportunity to serve others and be a part of something greater than ourselves, self-worth and purpose suffer, and struggle weighs us down like an anchor.”

— Matthew “Doc” Campbell US Navy Veteran

After completing the Yomp, veterans return home changed, both physically and emotionally, and spiritually. They walk away with more than sore legs. They return with purpose, confidence, and a powerful reminder: they are not alone.

“This has been life-changing. This experience is like breaking a bone. It grows back stronger.”
