The journey covers a distance of 874 miles and takes in a 30,000 ft elevation (approximately the same height as Mount Everest). Lejog CC21 was initially scheduled for June this year but has been re-scheduled to June 2022.
Andy said: “Having served in both Iraq and Afghanistan, I can be both determined and focused and I’m also familiar with sleep deprivation - however, this does take it to a new level.
"Hopefully it will raise both money and important awareness of these two incredible charities that are both very close to my heart.”
