The Venari Partners Challenge requires truly inspirational people to fill the team leader role, and Paul Harris certainly fits the bill.

A Royal Marine veteran, Paul was in a bad place in 2020, but a text from a friend changed his life. Paul has since completed two walking laps of Great Britain to raise awareness and fundraise for mental health charities.

It’s a privilege to have ‘The Warrior Walker’ on board as team leader for the Challenge – and, in this podcast, our Director James Parker speaks to Paul about his experiences and what it means for him to be involved. The Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM), the suicide prevention charity we’re fundraising for, is a cause close to Paul’s heart and adds an extra element to the trip, making it ‘not only a personal challenge, but when there’s a bigger reason to do something, you find a little bit extra.’

Tune in to hear more about Paul’s life, his travels around Britain, and his advice for this year’s trekkers – and please support the Venari Partners Challenge and CALM by donating.
