Smurfit Westrock Atlas the cardboard commandos for North Devon Hospice at Mission: Unbreakable

 

There is nothing quite like a 10km course packed with punishing hills, freezing water crossings, and more than 30 commando-style obstacles to test your limits. But for our intrepid team from Smurfit Westrock Atlas, becoming cardboard commandos for the day was well worth the effort.

We are incredibly proud to have returned once again as a sponsor of Mission: Unbreakable, joining hundreds of other fundraisers to support the vital work of the North Devon Hospice.

This year, a brave team of four from across our business: Ben, Leah, Aaron, and Dan stepped up to the starting line. Representing Smurfit Westrock Atlas, they took on the infamous sheep dip, high jump, and ice bath  head-on, proving that a bit of grit goes a long way when you are rallying behind a brilliant local cause.

Supporting a Lifeline in Our Community

Organised in partnership with the 24 Commando Royal Engineers based at RMB Chivenor, Mission: Unbreakable is designed to test determination rather than raw athletic prowess. While the course is famous for its laughs, camaraderie, and getting very wet, the real driving force behind the event is the cause itself.

The North Devon Hospice provides free care and support to local people affected by life-limiting illnesses, as well as crucial comfort to their families. A huge part of this care is delivered right into patients' homes, ensuring they can stay surrounded by their loved ones, familiar comforts, and dignity when it matters most.

Proud to Sponsor, Proud of the Team

As a local business rooted in North Devon, supporting the hospice is something we care deeply about. Sponsoring Mission: Unbreakable year after year is a privilege, but seeing our own people dive straight into the challenge makes it extra special.

 

A massive well done to Ben, Leah, Aaron, and Dan for flying the Smurfit Westrock Atlas flag, getting thoroughly soaked through, and helping raise funds for such an indispensable community asset.
