Miles for Military

Donation protected
While overlanding from California to Argentina, we launched the Miles for Military campaign to help support veterans and their families. During this trip and to kickstart this Miles for Military effort, Andy crossed the world's largest salt flats, the Bolivian Uyuni Salt Flats, on foot, carrying 40lbs, to raise awareness for the cause. To continue the efforts as we round off our Expedition Marooned project, we've partnered with Pelican for a #MilesforMilitary Giveaway.

The Cause:
As a former British Paratrooper, he is raising money for Support Our Paras, an organization that was instrumental in his and so many others transition into post-military life.  "After finding out I was going to be getting medically discharged from the Parachute Regiment, I was heartbroken. My goal was always to make a full career in the army. I feel lucky for the time I was able to serve, and I'm hoping to give back to a charity that helped in my transition after being medically discharged."

If you are a U.S. Resident and would prefer to support a U.S.-based military charity, we will happily donate to The Lone Survivor Foundation on your behalf. This incredible organization is based in Texas and was founded by Marcus Luttrell. ***Please leave the comment "Donation for the Lone Survivor Foundation" in the comments section during your donation form process for to opt to donate to this charity instead.
