Let me tell you all about Craig and Aimee, otherwise known as Kinging-It, our champions for this challenge. In the last episode, you'll have heard us say how they've helped others with their mental health (probably without knowing it) and how they inspired so many people from all over the world to come together for the Castle2castle Cycle Challenge in Wales UK to raise money for the excellent charity 'bigmoose'. If you've just joined us for this episode, have a listen to episode one to learn all about bigmoose.
Craig and Aimee aren't just adventurers and travel enthusiasts, they have a heart for making a difference. Through their popular blog and YouTube channel, they share their global adventures with a funny and down to earth touch. However, what truly sets them apart is their commitment to charity challenges. Craig and Aimee have taken on some daunting and unconventional challenges, all in the name of raising awareness and funds for causes close to their hearts. From completing the grueling Mongol Rally—an epic 10,000-mile journey across mountains, deserts, and steppe—to participating in other daring escapades like riding motorbikes through Vietnam, their adventures are as much about giving back as they are about exploration. Their charity challenges are a testament to their belief that travel can be a force for good, inspiring their followers to support various charitable causes and embrace the spirit of adventure for a purpose.
Craig and Aimee's "Wheelie Bin Challenge" is one of their weirdest and most memorable charity endeavors. The idea was as simple as it was absurd: push a standard household wheelie bin down through the length of Wales - one sat in it, the other pushing it.. Despite the challenge's inherent difficulties—navigating narrow roads, dealing with the unpredictable weather, and the sheer discomfort of riding in a bin—Craig and Aimee faced it all with their trademark humor and determination.The "Wheelie Bin Challenge" was not just about the laughs; it was a creative way to raise money and awareness for a cause they deeply care about, bigmoose Their dedication to turning even the most bizarre ideas into meaningful charitable efforts continues to inspire us to think outside the box when it comes to making a difference.
