Marino Joins Royalty
Gold Jacket Dan Marino is considered royalty in the football world. Now, he’s working with actual royalty.
Marino teamed up with Prince Harry, His Royal Highness Prince Henry of Wales, to support the charity Walking With the Wounded. The pair joined six American and British veterans for part of their “Walk of Britain” expedition.

The six wounded veterans are currently walking over 1,000 miles through mainland UK. The walk engages with local communities and the media to highlight the extraordinary determination of wounded personnel. It also raises awareness of the work that Walking With The Wounded is doing across the country to support the wounded veterans back into independence through long-term employment.
