Story

 This summer we (Daniel, Kit, Vere, Joe, Tim, Tarquin and Harry) will be attempting to trek the north part of the GR20 long distance hiking trail in Corsica in aid of Cancer Research UK.

The GR20 has, by some, been crowned the most difficult trek in Europe. I'm enormously excited to visit this beautiful island and trek the hardest part of the 180km world famous hiking trail.

I have decided to choose Help for Heroes as I have been closely following their actions and efforts towards Britain's service personal in action abroad and closer to home. Furthermore, I have had the rather moving experience of being able to talk to those who have lost single or multiple limbs whilst fighting for Britain's interests abroad. Their stories are shocking yet moving however many of them said that their rehabilitation has mainly been due to the incredible support that charities such as Help for Heroes has offered them. Thus with this in mind, I believe that this is a fitting charity to support.  

Our goal is to complete the North Section of the GR20 in 7 days (It is normally 9). The island is rugged and terrain is rough. There will be plenty of scrambling over exposed sections and on certain days we will use steel chains and ladders for support. 

Please give generously so that Help for Heroes can continue their inspiring work to help rehabilitate service personal and integrate them back into society.
