Be Military Fit has generously given the cabbies a year’s free training and support to help them get fit and shed the pounds ahead of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in September 2019.

Bear Grylls said: “Huge respect to these incredibly tenacious cabbies! I love their drive for the mission and am proud to have Be Military Fit as a key motivator, supporting these guys in their training. It’s going to be a transformative journey for them and I can’t wait to see how they get on. Never give up!”
