Robert Kaiser has set himself a challenge in October. He is hoping to raise as much money as possible for the Pilgrim Bandits, a charity dedicated to taking ex-forces amputees on challenging expeditions.
CEO of the UK body armour manufacturer PPSS Group says: “It’s shameful how little has been done for those who have served and protected this country. I am running the Polar Circle Marathon to raise awareness and financial support these guys.” Weather conditions and temperatures in Greenland can vary, so Robert is aiming to get himself in the best possible shape. His training regime includes breaking-dawn marches for several miles carrying a 50lb backpack and running 13 miles on a Sunday morning.
He says: “I really would like to appeal to everyone, local businesses and anyone who shares my passion for the support of the armed forces, and especially for those whose lives have been turned upside down due to serious injuries or loss of limbs. I also want to highlight how brave and mentally strong many of these injured service men are. Where most civilians would have given up, these guys just take the challenge on the chin and simply adapt, without whining. They are an inspiration to all of us.”
