Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice star Henry Cavill officially launches the running phase of the Royal Marines 1664 Challenge, by means of a video, it is set to raise over £500,000 or $840 million for the Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund (RMCTF).

The Royal Marines 1664 challenge event is to help troops across the United Kingdom to celebrate and demonstrate the formation of the Corps back in October 1664, where the infantry is part of the Naval Service. Exercises are created for Royal Marines celebrating its 350th anniversary.

Henry Cavill went on to say –

“Royal Marine Commandos believe in what they can do. They have the courage, determination and will to succeed. They make sacrifices and take risks; regrettably, sometimes they have to pay the price for those risks. In recent years they have experienced a significant increase in serious injuries, wounds or illness through current operations. This has not deterred the men of this proud corps; on the contrary, it has spurred them on to help their injured and wounded comrades. We should not forget what the Royal Marines have done for the country and the many sacrifices that they have made. Now is the time, in their distinguished 350 year history, for everyone to get behind the Royal Marines; and support this extraordinary challenge and this incredible charity“
