An army veteran forced to give up military life due to injury is pledging to plough “every penny” back into the charity that helped rebuild his life by embarking on Perth and Kinross’ greatest endurance challenge.
Royal Artillery veteran Lee Harris-Hamer (31), from North Yorkshire, is the new ambassador for ABF The Soldiers’ Charity’s Cateran Yomp, which challenges teams of soldiers, veterans and civilians to walk 22, 36 or 54 miles across the rugged terrain of the region’s countryside in less than 24 hours.
Participants will head off on the Cateran Trail - a 64-mile route between Blairgowrie, Alyth and Glenshee - in the foothills of the Cairngorm Mountains at 6am on Saturday, June 3, returning to Blairgowrie in the early hours of Sunday, June 4.
