INSPIRING AND SUPPORTING INJURED VETERANS ALONGSIDE MEMBERS OF THE DISABLED COMMUNITY. FOUNDED AND RUN BY INJURED VETERANS
THE EXPLORERS GRAND SLAM – ADAPTED - The highest peak on each continent. The North and South Poles unsupported.
Described as the Golden standard challenge for any explorer, pushing the boundaries of human endurance and ability.
Everest. Aconcagua. Denali. Kilimanjaro. Elbrus. Vinson. Kosciuszko. The North Pole, The South Pole. This is how AGS started.
The Adaptive Grandslam Project strives to bring extraordinary individuals with life-changing injuries and disabilities to rise to these toughest of challenges, having already completed adapted climbs of Denali, Elbrus, Kilimanjaro, Aconcagua, Vinson and Everest, Kosciuszko, along with unsupported expeditions to the North and South Poles. We’re now providing opportunities to our beneficiaries to join us on a number of expeditions and challenge events.
OUR STORY
Many people with life changing injuries face a long process of rehabilitation, finding themselves thrown out of action and into the perplexities of physical and psychological obstacles and difficulties with self-acceptance. The AGS was established to select, train and develop disabled teams to tackle extreme expeditions and challenges supported by professional expedition and challenge leaders in order to help members of the disabled community regain confidence, independence and meaningful occupation delivered via the AGS foundation (Registered UK charity number 1173076).
Our vision
The AGS aims to inspire people to achieve the extraordinary. By providing opportunities for people with disabilities to participate in expeditions, and overcome physical challenges, the team hopes to raise awareness of how our community members can overcome adversity, set world records, complete world first attempts, and collaborate with like-minded people. Our vision is to inspire a generation of disabled people to reach or reassess their potential, and through their determination and sense of adventure, advance the development of prosthetics and other adaptive equipment through testing on our endeavours.
