Epic Trek for a Noble Cause
A significant expedition is being undertaken to raise awareness and funds for the UK Special Forces Benevolent Fund. This endeavor, inspired by discussions among members of the UK's Special Forces Club, aims to support veterans and their families, similar to initiatives like the Wounded Warriors Project in the US. The trek will replicate a historic journey across the deserts of Saudi Arabia and Jordan, commemorating the remarkable achievement of Sharif Nasir, Naseeb el-Bakri, Auda Abu Ta'i, and T.E. Lawrence, who rode nearly 700 miles in 1917. Five riders will embark on this journey with 10 camels, retracing their heroic steps to honor those who served and to generate necessary funds for veterans in need.
