Jeep Patriot for the Hero 100 Challenge

The British division of Chrysler recently revealed it will somehow be part of a new endurance challenge, only this time it won't be directly involved. In fact, the carmaker has donated a Jeep Patriot to World Record breaking endurance athlete Mike Buss, who is up yo take on the biggest challenge of his life so far.

Specifically, Buss is going to start the Hero 100 Challenge - 100 marathons in 100 days. From June 16 to September 23, Buss will try to achieve his goal of raising £100,000 for the Help For Heroes Fund.

The Jeep Patriot donated by Chrysler will be the top prize in a charity raffle that will take place when Mike completes his Hero 100 challenge.

“This is an enormous challenge for me and one that I am very excited about starting. I would like to thank Chrysler for all their support, which will not only help me set a new world record, but more importantly it will raise vital funds for Help for Heroes,” Mike Buss said in a release.

“If Mike were a car he would be a Jeep! He relishes a challenge, seeks an adventure everyday, and takes everything thrown at him in his stride whilst carrying all his endurance missions out with passion, enthusiasm and determination,” added Nigel Land, Marketing Director at Chrysler UK.

Buss is quite confident that he will smash the existing world record, which is 50 marathons in 50 days, and you can keep in touch with this unusual challenge by visiting a Facebook page dedicated to the Hero 100 Challenge - 100 Marathons in 100 Days.
