Meet Ben, a Royal Marines Commando PTI, who will shortly embark on his epic challenge to run the 3 peaks. This will involve Ben running between 50-55 miles each day for 10 days, climbing a total of 14,500m! Now that’s an awesome challenge in my book! 🫡

A lot of changes in my personal life recently, some not so great and some awesome (everything happens for a reason). So to be awarded the MSM in the kings first birthday honours list is a welcome shock. A massive thanks to @Pegasus_Coy who without a doubt played their part 🙏🏼
