Taking part in the Cumbrian Challenge holds profound significance for me and my family. My husband, Marcus, a dedicated South African veteran, has inspired me to connect with a cause that resonates deeply with our journey. As we navigate life in the UK after emigrating from South Africa, the challenge represents not just a physical test, but also a way to raise awareness and support for veterans and their families.

The Sunbelt Rentals Veterans Program has been instrumental in our settling process, offering invaluable community integration support, access to essential veteran resources, and employment opportunities. This program has helped us establish a sense of belonging in our new home, alleviating some of the challenges we faced, such as cultural adjustment and building social connections after living apart for two years.

Participating in the Cumbrian Challenge is more than just a personal challenge; it’s an opportunity to reconnect with the military community and honour the sacrifices made by veterans like Marcus. I invite you to join us in supporting this vital cause, ensuring that veterans receive the recognition and assistance they deserve. Together, we can make a meaningful impact. Thank you for your support!
