The chance to take on a hiking challenge in a beautiful part of the country whilst helping a very worthy cause that supports ex-military and their families. Win win!
Walking With The Wounded supports those who served, helping those who have fallen the furthest, men and women struggling with mental health issues, unemployment, homelessness or caught in police custody. By providing early intervention programmes and speeding up access to therapy they are changing the lives of veterans and, crucially, their families.
The Cumbrian Challenge is Walking With The Wounded's headline event and is held each year in Grasmere. Teams have been taking part for over 10 years, raising over £1.7m for the charity and the work it does. I'll be taking on the Lake District peaks to play my part in supporting the charity and all those they help.
