Challenge 100

When the Duke of Edinburgh's International Award Foundation called out for a fundraising challenge to help continue the work of the Founder and continue his legacy by raising funds to help less fortunate young people to achieve the Award, our Explorers thought of a challenge based on the number 100 and decided to hike a distance of 100km collectively, each carrying a packed rucksack of about a quarter of their body weight to mimic the adventurous journey hike at the end of 2022. The wrote and sent the following text to possible contributors:

"We at Waterloo Explorers are doing Challenge100 - A fundraiser that financially helps and encourages young people to join the Duke of Edinburgh's International Award Programme to help them develop life skills.

Our Explorer Unit will do a collective sponsored hike of 100 km, each carrying approximately 15kg rugsack, mimicking an adventurous journey hike. If you would like to support our charitable effort, you can donate here:"
