Chris's dogsledding mission in aid of the Scott Polar research institute 2008 PledgePage
Well I am setting up this page to make it easier for all those who wish to donate for me to do this as quoted from the event organisers:
Sledding over 200 kilometres from our base camp into the wilds of the most northern European country of Norway, this event will prove the ultimate challenge for many participants. An odyssey of ice and teamwork between man and dog, our participants will need to go right back to basics, with many effectively re-learning the simple truths of life as a result of their experiences. The nature of the event means that it is run with a relatively small number of participants (13 maximum). Each participant will have his/her own sled, pulled by 4-6 huskies. An ATD expedition leader, supported by an experienced expedition doctor and a local guide, will head up the expedition. For those that know me this is quite a challenge for someone who hasn't done hard exercise in years and thinks a long walk is the one to work every day.... I am also sure there are people out there who would quite like to send me to far off cold places hoping I may never return, please give generously as it's the last time I volunteer to do anything as insane as this..... |
