Machu PiGchu: Getting to know Emilian Arnaut

In October, a team of brave PiGs will take on the iconic Inca Trail in Peru, all in aid of our Charity of the Year, Harry’s Pals.

In this series of articles, we’re introducing you to the people behind the challenge, finding out a little more about what inspired them to take part, how they’re preparing for the adventure and what they’re looking forward to most.

This article is all about Emilian Arnaut. We caught up with him to find out more about his Machu PiGchu journey…

Job title:
Machining Team Leader

Why did you sign up for the Inca Trail?
I signed up for the Inca Trail to take on a new challenge whilst raising vital funds for a charity that means a lot to me.

What are you most looking forward to?
Challenging myself on a different level than I’ve ever done before.

What are you most nervous about?
Weather! That will be another challenge itself. Hoping for cool sunshine to keep me going.

How’s the training going?
It’s going well. I’ve got lots of people supporting me and helping me with plenty of walks big or small and words of encouragement to keep me going.

What does Harry’s Pals mean to you?
It’s amazing charity that helps so many families that need it most in their most vulnerable of times.

If I can help them even small amount, it will make a big difference to their lives. I feel honoured to be able to raise funds for such a great cause.

Describe the challenge in three words
Freedom, exhilarating , once in a life time.
