Great North Run 2018

The expedition has been postponed twice due to the Covid-19 pandemic so, for certainty, the charity has reimagined it in the UK, so they can still showcase the value of veterans and raise funds and awareness of veteran issues, especially in light of the recent withdrawal of Western forces from Afghanistan.

The past 18 months have been some of the toughest that we have gone through; individually, as a nation, and across the world. As a charity, we have seen first-hand how much the pandemic has changed the way we live.

In October 2021, an outstanding group of 19 ultra-runners will be taking on the infamous Marathon des Sables (MDS), a seven-day ultra-marathon in the heat of the Sahara Desert, in order to raise funds for WWTW’s work. In the lead up to the race, we will be introducing you to some of the team. Over the years, WWTW has invited different teams to take part in the event on behalf of the charity. In this interview, we hear from Emma Carpenter.

Walking With The Wounded, is set to return to Grasmere in September to host our annual Cumbrian Challenge. The event which was postponed twice last year due to the Covid-19 pandemic is set to take place next month on September 11th, 2021.

There are less than 2 months to go until hundreds of teams descend on Grasmere to take on Walking With The Wounded’s annual Cumbrian Challenge. The event was postponed last year due to the Covid-19 pandemic but thanks to the resilience of our dedicated supporters, this year promises to be bigger and better.

In January 2020, Chris from the WWTW Team, set-off on the trek of a lifetime as he walked 100km across the Sahara Desert with Tribal Tracks. A WWTW team will be heading out in early 2022 to take on a similar challenge and in this blog, Chris offers his top tips on what to expect, what to pack and he shares his favourite memory.
