Marc, Emilien and Timothée are three French army veterans who were wounded in the Malian town of Gossi while taking part in France's Barkhane anti-jihadist operation. With help from their brothers-in-arms, they took on a challenge: a 170-kilometre, one-week hike around Mont Blanc. The trek, known as the "Tiger Raid", is a way for them to regain confidence and continue their recovery. Our team walked the last 20 killometres with them.
