Martin Wray of Mastercrate has volunteered to be a ski buddy for the Skiing with Heroes charity event from 26-29 January, 2017 in Klosters, Switzerland.
Skiing With Heroes is a UK-based charity that supports wounded ex-Iraq and Afghanistan campaign soldiers through a specially designed ‘skihabilitation’ ski-based development programme; a process whereby wounded veterans regain their confidence and start on a path to fitness, sustained well-being and then, if desired, employment.
With the overwhelming success of the recent Paralympics and more poignantly the Invictus Games still fresh in the memory, Martin is hoping to raise even greater awareness of this much needed support link.
Skiing With Heroes is a non-profit making organisation. From the ski buddies to the chairman and founder, everyone is a volunteer and unlike most charities, none takes a salary, with all ski buddies required to finance their own travel arrangements to and from Klosters.
