Story
Every year the Armed Forces Para-Snowsport Team (AFPST) plays a powerful role in the recovery, transformation and personal freedom of wounded, injured and sick serving personnel and veterans. This sporting activity rebuilds their self-confidence and competitive spirit, through snowsports activities.
The charity has helped so many of those who are now having to face physical and mental challenges each day after putting themselves in harm's way in service of our country.
To celebrate our 10th anniversary of support for the AFPST, a team of Leonardo employees has devised the AFPST Summit Challenge 2021 which will see them cycle over 1,000km from London to the top of Alpe d'Huez in the French Alps in July to raise vital funds for the charity.
Over two years ago, Leonardo launched the ‘Spirit of Challenge’ initiative, where staff could get involved in organised challenges or find their own personal challenges, and in so doing, raise funds for the AFPST. This year's Summit Challenge sees cyclists from Leonardo's sites across the UK joining AFPST athletes to celebrate our first decade of the fundraising, relationships and inspiration that have grown from Leonardo's collaboration with the AFPST.
In the coming weeks, look out for the stories and milestones that we will share on this page and across our company channels. Join us by showing your support using the #AFPSTSpirit.
This page is for individuals who wish to support the Summit Challenge 2021 through donating to the main event itself rather than to an individual rider. On this page suppliers and friends of Leonardo can donate towards this worthwhile cause helping us raise valuable funds under the Summit Challenge 2021 to help support the AFPST charity.
