1,000 miles. 6 days, 19 hours, 23 minutes. One cause that couldn't be more personal.
We're incredibly proud to share that our owner Richard Wattam, and his good friend Rob Clegg have successfully completed the Yukon 1000 – one of the world's toughest endurance canoe races.
Starting in Whitehorse, Canada, they paddled an astonishing 1,000 miles (1,600 km) through some of the most remote wilderness, crossing into Alaska and finishing beyond the Arctic Circle.
An extraordinary challenge, completed in an incredible 6 days, 19 hours and 23 minutes.
But this journey was about far more than endurance.
Richard and Rob have already raised over £21,000 for Guts UK Charity, helping to fund vital research into digestive diseases and bowel cancer. Their support will help drive earlier diagnosis, improve treatments and, ultimately, save lives.
Bowel cancer is the second biggest cancer killer in the UK, yet it is also one of the most treatable when detected early. Raising awareness and funding research can make a real difference.
If you'd like to support this incredible cause, please consider making a donation via their JustGiving page: https://lnkd.in/eYwBrFgC
A huge congratulations to Richard and Rob on this phenomenal achievement and thank you to everyone who has supported them throughout this remarkable journey.
