Challenge Factory: Then
In 2003, Lisa Taylor completed her first (of five) 60 km walks for charity and was overwhelmed by the sense of satisfaction she gained from accomplishing such a daunting and personal goal. She knew others were seeking that same sense of fulfillment and Challenge Factory was born.
