18. The Green Sentinels Ben Spurway, who will captain the Green Sentinels, has experience both in the military and with mountain rescue, and will be accompanied by other members with military backgrounds, Natalie Gardner and Ben Hill. Despite it being their first expedition, the team is competing to enjoy themselves, but with the goal of completing the adventure.
As they physically prepare for the rigours of the Patagonian Expedition Race, the Sentinels are also raising money for three charities: Help for Heroes, Shelterbox, and the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity. Previous team member, Steve Brown, said the Green Sentinels wanted “to raise money for those who returned less fortunate than us, to rekindle the bond we once had, and to inspire others that anything is possible with honest hard work, desire, and bags of integrity.”
