Exactly one year ago to the day, N&R pro Ian Kennett along with 11 others and the amazing Sherpa guides arrived at Everest Base Camp, completing a 10 day trek in aid of Walking with the Wounded in support of an attempt by a 5 man team of wounded soldiers to summit the big one. Having seen first-hand the indomitable spirit and courage of these guys Ian thought it was about time he got off his expanding backside and did something else to support them.
So, in one weeks time Ian along with three other (younger and fitter) hardy souls, (including Charlie Russell, a serving Ghurkha office seriously wounded in Afghanistan who led the trek in Nepal) the lads are attempting the Cumbrian Challenge – a simple 33km , 10 hour race/trek in teams of 4 , covering 10 peaks and a mere 2327m of altitude gain.
Walking with the Wounded raises funds to finance new qualifications, courses and further education for those who are seriously injured. It enables the blind, the burn victims, the mentally injured, the amputees and all the other wounded personnel to rebuild their lives and to return to the work place.
The team would be very grateful for any support you can give and you can do this by visiting our Just Giving page
Thank you in advance for your kind support.
Regards
Ian Kennett
