Endurance hiker Richard Miller is packing his blister plasters, ready to embark on the 106km Isle of White Challenge to raise money for World Vision UK’s Ukrainian appeal.
Richard, World Vision's Payroll and Benefits Manager, will be taking a break from punching numbers to join 2,000 other intrepid hikers to walk the coastal path of the Isle of Wight.
The challenge, which takes place from 30 April to 1 May, is, “The chance to do something amazing while helping others,” says Richard. “I’ve spent two years training for this and walked 2,400 miles.”
This is the third endurance challenge he’s completed to raise funds for World Vision – previously Richard has completed two challenges for our work as the world’s biggest non-governmental supplier of water. Working with communities in poorer countries to provide sustainable solutions to water scarcity is one of World Vision’s many areas of expertise.
