Mountain Warehouse has teamed up with popular adventurer, TV presenter and author Simon Reeve, to become the ambassador for this year’s instalment of the Charity Challenge.
The annual initiative, which encourages members of the public up and down the country to set themselves daring, outdoor challenges to raise money for charity, returns for its fourth year with a prize fund of £10,000.
This year, as well as the impressive £10,000 prize for charity, Mountain Warehouse is offering the lucky winner the opportunity of a lifetime; to undertake Simon’s own Charity Challenge, alongside the adventurer himself.
During his time as an adventurer Simon has become one of Britain’s most widely travelled citizens. Simon has visited over 110 countries and is no stranger to adrenaline-fuelled activities, breathtaking ventures and awe-inspiring experiences; making him the ideal ambassador for Mountain Warehouse’s 2016 Charity Challenge.
Simon Reeve comments: “I’m chuffed to be part of Mountain Warehouse’s Charity Challenge this year. It’s is a wonderful initiative, which not only gets Brits outdoors and active, but also raises money for charities across the UK. The campaign also offers a great opportunity for one lucky applicant to do something they’ve always dreamed of. I’m looking forward to meeting all the shortlisters for an outdoor activity day, and then eventually meeting the winner who will accompany me on my own Charity Challenge.”
