This will be my fifth year taking on the Cumbrian Challenge — 27km of rugged Lake District terrain around Grasmere — and every year reminds me why I keep coming back. It’s more than just an endurance test; it’s about standing in solidarity with veterans who’ve faced far tougher challenges than any mountain trail. Walking With The Wounded does life-changing work for those who’ve served and now need support with mental health, employment, and housing. I’m proud to put my boots on again and raise as much as I can for such a vital cause.
