An Army major who lived in Alton is halfway through her target of completing 12 challenges in 2022 to raise money for the Veterans’ Foundation.

Major Jen Price is attempting the XC ski race, an ultra marathon, the Paris marathon, the Devizes to Westminster canoe race, the Land’s End to John o’Groats cycle ride, to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, an Ironman triathlon, to climb the Matterhorn, the Dart 10km open water swim, a multi-stage ultra marathon, walking Hadrian’s Wall and to climb Mount Aconcagua.

Jen, who has raised £27,000, said: “I have just completed number six, Kilimanjaro. The summit hike was one of the hardest things I have ever done because of the effect of altitude on my body. This is closely followed by the 29 hours of non-stop paddling that took place on the canoe marathon, which nearly broke me.”
