Today we had the pleasure of hosting Walking With The Wounded to help them complete their challenge.
They began by running from their office to East Manchester to then complete 100 pullups, 200 press ups and 300 squats, and then run the mile back. If that wasn't hard enough, they ran all the way back too.
This organisation support those who have served in the armed forces with challenges such as mental health, employment and provide wraparound care coordination programmes tailored to the unique needs of each individual.
