Fundraising Tips & Materials
___
The Cumbrian Challenge was set up for raising funds to put ex servicemen and women through WWTW's programmes and back into society, independence and employment. This event continues to be a key fundraiser to change lives.
Incentives:
- Every team that raises £2,000 before the event will receive a Walking With The Wounded Cumbrian Challenge Buff.
- The team that raises the most for the Cumbrian Challenge 2022 will be welcomed to a very special event on Thursday 2nd June 2022. Walking With The Wounded have been invited to take a beacon up to the top of Scafell Pike to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, as part of similar events around the world. The winning team will take this beacon up to the top and proudly fly the flag to celebrate Her Majesty The Queen's 70 years on the throne.
"You made me feel valuable as a veteran when I felt discarded by the military so now, I can move forward and remember my service time fondly."
