March for Nations is a charity created by Jonathan James and Wez Hazley in the hope of "Turning grief into purpose". It started off after the loss of Jonathan's wife Laura in late 2024 who was the inspiration of this wonderful charity.

As a charity they have done many things to gain awareness and support from people across the globe. Their original idea was to travel to Borneo to do a death-march from Sandakan to the other side of Sabah (North Borneo), but that was canceled due to complications. This revised challenge would see Jon walk from The Commando Memorial in Scotland to Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) in Wales, some 440 miles. Along the way, he summited the three highest peaks in their respective nations — Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike, and Yr Wyddfa, entirely on foot over just 17 days. The expedition started with a memorial service at the Commando Memorial on August 15th (VJ Day) and ended with a further act of Remembrance at the National Arboretum on the September 2nd (the officially recognised end of WW2). These services were held in memory of both the fallen and of Laura, whose spirit continues to inspire this journey.
