Push 500 Wheelchair Challenge
Craig and Charlie visited RAF Church Fenton in Yorkshire to help Sean Allerton launch his Push 500 Wheelchair Challenge to raise funds and awareness for charities who assist wounded or injured servicemen and women.
Together with Adam Douglas of The Forgotten Heroes charity which Craig and Charlie are patrons of, they accompanied Sean of the first two miles of his challenge. Craig and Charlie commented “For us to be here is an honour. What they’re doing is absolutely inspirational.”
