100 Kilos – 444 Miles – 100 UK Locations



Corporate Risk Systems Ltd is pleased to have Ben Greer as a delegate on their NEBOSH Full House package which has been designed for Ex Forces Personnel who are currently leaving the forces for a civilian life, whether they have naturally come to the end of their service or are part of the redundancies (circa 5000) announced last week.
Ben who was  Ex Royal Air Force having left 2 years ago,  was a Chinook helicopter crewman. Ben said “I had the pleasure of serving alongside some of the best young men and women I have ever met. I completed 6 tours of Afghanistan during 2006-2010. During these tours one of our main jobs was to provide casualty evacuation from the front line using the Medical Emergency Response Team (MERT). We evacuated the bulk of both the civilian and military casualties for the area of Helmand. It has been my honour to have been involved in such an operation which I should also state is still on-going.”
Ben is taking part in The Big Lift  and is  going to walk a mile for every British service person to have died in Afghanistan; currently sitting around 440. Each mile though will be done with the weight of a combat soldier, in fighting kit on his back to simulate evacuation from the battlefield. The weight will be 100kgs or 15.74 stone, 220 lb
Please give Ben and the Team your support find out more www.thebiglift.co.uk
