Thursday, 29 June 2017

A small team led by triple amputee, Andy Reid are taking on a major physical challenge. Andy and Glenn Hughes, a former comrade, will cycle 500 miles from Lytham to Devizes and kayak 100 miles from Devizes to Westminster as they visit the graves of 6 soldiers killed on March 6th 2012.

Sport Rehabilitator Charlotte Bell is working with the Challenge. Charlotte states "I've got the fantastic opportunity of working with these amazing veterans on the warrior challenge, please take a look and any donations would be greatly appreciated.”

From 16 – 29 June 2017, the Warrior Challenge will cover 525 miles in 14 days through running, cycling and kayaking

The Warrior Challenge honours the memory of 6 men who lost their lives on the 6th March 2012 while serving in the Kandahar province, Afghanistan. All 6 died when their Warrior armoured vehicle was caught in an explosion. 5 of the men were from Andy’s regiment, 3rd Battalion 'The Yorkshire Regiment' with the final soldier being from 1st Battalion 'The Duke of Lancaster's.'

Andy and Glen are both veterans of the Afghan War, each with life changing injuries, some visible, others not so.
