A REDDITCH veteran with life-changing injuries is set to join four others on an epic adventure to become the first adaptive team in the world to kayak from Land’s End to John O’Groats. The Kayak 4 Heroes team, which will include Carl Simmons from Redditch, will take on the 1,400-mile challenge beginning in mid-June, with the aim of raising £100,000 for the Armed Forces Para-Snowsport Team (AFPST). The charity provides snowboarding and skiing opportunities for Armed Forces personnel with physical and/or psychological conditions, to help with their physical and emotional recovery. The Kayak 4 Heroes team met when they were supported by AFPST, and decided to undertake a challenge to give something back to the charity which has transformed their lives.
