In 2016 Titus took part in the KFL fundraising trek to the Great Wall of China.
‘I took part in this trek along with my wife and daughter and several KFL supporters. It was the experience of a lifetime. In addition to the overall experience and the grandeur of the Great Wall, the experience was even more poignant due the friendships and bonds made with the other trekkers and fundraisers, which remain to this day.’
