Jason Turnbull Takes on Epic Challenge: Climbing 24 Munros in 2024 to Support Sight Scotland Veterans

Jason explains: "I've always loved hillwalking and the great outdoors, and now, I want to combine this passion to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who have served our country. Climbing 24 Munros in a single year is no small feat, but it pales in comparison to the challenges faced by our veterans both whilst in service and now living with vision impairment.”

He adds: “I love working for the charity and am inspired by our veterans every single day at the Hawkhead Centre. Each day our expert teams coordinate activities for veterans to explore interests, reconnect with their passions, develop new skills, and meet new friends in a safe, welcoming environment. Our activities include archery or acoustic shooting, using the gym, making a bird table or bench in woodwork, arts and crafts, music, I.T, virtual reality headsets, the list is really endless.”

Craig Spalding, Chief Executive of Sight Scotland and Sight Scotland Veterans, comments: “We would just like to thank Jason for this incredible effort, climbing 24 Munros in 2024 is an incredible challenge and to combine this with raising money for Sight Scotland Veterans is amazing. Jason is a valued member of the team at the Hawkhead Centre and has a great rapport with all the veterans who attend. Let’s hope as many people as possible get behind Jason and I know I will be cheering him on all the way!”
