Karrimor SF Supports Marching 4 Minds
From Birthplace to Burial Site: An Unusual Charity Challenge Following T.E. Lawrence, 'Lawrence Of Arabia'
From time to time, Karrimor SF do consider supporting charity challenges, and right now we're helping Andy Thompson with an interesting charity challenge that supports some great causes centred around mental health and wellbeing.
With a track record that includes Three Peaks Challenges, 'selection style' extreme physical challenges, and numerous successful charity fundraising events and activities, Andy's latest challenge is hiking a phenomenal 235 mile route over five days which will take him from Tremadog in Wales, the birthplace of his hero the legendary T.E. Lawrence, to Bovington Camp where his life journey ended.
You can find out more about the challenge, the charities that Andy is supporting, and even how you can get involved by visiting his Marching 4 Minds website here.
To help Andy make his mission a success, we've supported him with a Karrimor SF Sabre 45 with PLCE Sabre Side Pockets. The rugged durability of the Sabre 45 and scalable load carrying capacity to 70 litres with the PLCE Sabre Side Pockets will provide Andy with a load carrying solution that will see him through this challenge and many others.
Karrimor SF brand ambassador Justin 'Just' Miles met Andy on a wild and windy day to find out more. "Andy is totally committed to making this challenge a success, not just in terms of completing the distance in the target time, but also to make sure that the charities and organisations involved get the maximum possible benefit. His passion for this is unquestionable, and his dedication to his training schedule goes far beyond many professionals that I've met"
