Hi,
On the 18th to the 19th of May we are taking part in the 'Walking with the Wounded's Cumbrian Challenge, a 23km hike/race in the Lake District.
We are trying to raise £2000 for this worthy course and we would greatly appreciate any donations however big or small.
"Established in 2010, Walking With The Wounded supports a pathway for vulnerable veterans to re-integrate back into society and sustain their independence. At the heart of this journey is employment.
We recognise the inherent skills of our armed service personnel and wants to complement these qualities, as well as provide support to transfer their skills into the civilian workplace. We offer assistance through our programmes to those vulnerable veterans who have been physically, mentally or socially disadvantaged by their service and assist them in sustaining their independence through new sustainable careers outside of the military. This includes providing support to homeless veterans and veterans in the Criminal Justice System, areas which are too often ignored.
The outcome? Sustainable employment, and independence for them and their families."
A video of what we can expect from this hike can be found here: http://youtu.be/oShKLfrd-2M
Ata recent event our Expedition Patron Prince Harry commented : "What you guys are doing here is truly fantastic. There are guys and girls who, because of you, have been taken out of an incredibly dark place and offered a train track heading in one direction. They have turned their lives around and can be recognised for the service that they gave and the people that they are, rather than the mistakes they made"
